RFK Jr.'s ignorant war on vaccines will make America sick again [View all]

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s mission to Make America Sick Again had a banner day fighting vaccines on Wednesday, when it was announced that the brain worm-having Trump appointee was not only pausing multimillion-dollar efforts to develop a new COVID-19 vaccine, but that the FDA’s planning meeting for next flu season had been abruptly canceled.

While the HHS secretary didn’t terminate the COVID project outright, he announced a 90-day stop-work order on it, alleging that former President Joe Biden’s “failed oversight” during his presidency necessitated a review of ongoing vaccine production agreements.

It’s unclear what might happen during that time to make Kennedy want to resume the program, but it seems that the HHS secretary is trying to impose his harmful anti-vaccine agenda on Americans, even if it’s to our detriment.

Meanwhile, when it comes to the panel of scientific experts who advise the Food and Drug Administration on vaccine policy, it seems as though Kennedy is using his newfound power in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet to also bend federal health agencies to his will. As The New York Times reported, Kennedy has long been critical of the FDA, but, perhaps more worrisome, of any efforts to develop new, useful vaccines.
