Caroline Kennedy Warns of “Predator” RFK Jr

Tuesday, January 28, 2025

Caroline Kennedy warned senators Tuesday about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling her cousin " now President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services " a "predator" whose victims have ranged from family members to the parents of sick children. In a copy of a letter obtained by The Washington Post and sent to lawmakers ahead of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearings to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, the former ambassador to Australia alleges that her cousin, "addicted to attention and power," has given hypocritical advice by discouraging parents from vaccinating their children while vaccinating his own children. She alleged that his "crusade against vaccination" has also served to enrich him. "I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together," wrote Kennedy. "It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator."

- - - But there is still a deep partisan divide over how Americans view health information and the people and institutions who share health-related messages.

- - - The split emerged during the pandemic and has become more entrenched in the almost five years since.

By the numbers: Less than half of the respondents surveyed this month trust President Trump (42%) and Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (43%) at least a fair amount to make the right recommendations on health issues. ...
