Trump backs Kennedy on vaccines despite health, political risks

President Trump backs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. despite bipartisan concerns and changes that include cuts to vaccine research and policy shifts, raising public health alarms.

  • On September 6, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. despite congressional criticism and public health concerns in Washington, D.C.
  • Kennedy's appointment followed his 2024 endorsement of Trump and came amid his controversial actions limiting COVID-19 vaccine access, cutting vaccine research funding, and ousting the CDC head.
  • Kennedy faced bipartisan harsh questioning in a tumultuous Senate hearing earlier that week, highlighting broad unease over his leadership and stances on vaccines and autism.
  • Trump described Kennedy as "a very good person...and he means very well" with "some little different ideas," while citing a Yale study showing vaccines prevented over 18.5 million hospitalizations and 3.2 million deaths.
  • Meanwhile, Florida announced ending all state vaccine mandates including for students, reflecting a broader political divide as Democrats grow more trusting of vaccines and Republican trust falls to 41%.
