Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.

Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.

Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.

    I can’t imagine them allowing trump to cut into their profits like that.

    Yeah, that’s not how the dynamic between business and government works under fascism. I would advise you to read about Germany and Italy in the late 1930s/early 1940s
