  • Democratic lawmakers in the US are asking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to stay away from all vaccine-related decisions if confirmed as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services because his family could benefit from anti-vaccine litigation.

U.S. lawmakers have publicly urged Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential candidate known for his anti-vaccine stance, to refrain from influencing vaccine policy. This call to action comes in response to Kennedy's controversial statements linking vaccines to autism and his promotion of unverified treatments for COVID-19. His views have been criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, with figures like Rep. Dan Goldman and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz expressing concerns over the potential harm his misinformation could cause. They argue that his involvement in vaccine policy could undermine public health efforts, especially given the ongoing challenges with vaccine hesitancy. This bipartisan pushback highlights the tension between political figures and public health advocates regarding the spread of vaccine misinformation.
