The Danger of RFK Jr.'s Role in the Trump Administration

President-elect Trump's stated plan of putting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of federal health policy would endanger Americans because he's an anti-vaxxer and anti-science conspiracy theorist, warns Molly Olmstead: "[E]levation of Kennedy to executive power -- even hypothetical -- signals the further erosion of any kind of facts-based decision-making, and points to Trump's embrace not just of falsehoods that benefit him politically but nonsense in general."

Olmstead: "Kennedy, after all, is one of the most committed conspiracy theorists on the national stage. He promotes ideas about a cabal of billionaires working with the pharmaceutical industry to take control of the American populace. He really, really believes that vaccines cause childhood autism, despite the medical community thoroughly debunking any such notions. He has speculated, baselessly, that Wi-Fi causes cancer. He has incorrectly attributed health issues to aluminum and acetaminophen. In other words, he has operated as an anti-scientific wellness guru, but for the entire American public."
