RFK Jr. Tells Anti-Vaccine Activists They Have a Friend in Trump's White House
- HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed a Children's Health Defense conference on Thursday, assuring activists they have "a friend in the White House" in President Donald Trump.
- Kennedy chaired the vaccine-skeptic organization for years before launching his presidential bid in 2023, and Thursday's speech marked a pivot by HHS from nutrition initiatives back toward scaling back vaccine guidance.
- The nation's worst measles outbreak since 1991 has produced more than 3,000 cases and four deaths this year, prompting Dr. Fiona Havers, a former CDC vaccine expert, to blast Kennedy for promoting vaccine-skeptic views.
- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro condemned the appearance, stating Kennedy "chose to spend his time today addressing the premier vaccine-denial conference in America" rather than encouraging measles vaccinations.
- A federal judge previously blocked Kennedy-led vaccine schedule changes in March and suspended appointments of 13 advisory committee members, creating legal hurdles that constrain the administration's broader vaccine policy agenda.
