RFK Jr’s shifting vaccines stance worries experts ahead of confirmation hearing

Anti-vaccine rhetoric has been a lucrative enterprise for RFK Jr - one he is now trying to distance himself from

Anti-vaccine rhetoric and lawsuits were a lucrative enterprise for Robert F Kennedy Jr, leading up to his nomination to be secretary of health - one he is seeking to distance himself from as he enters confirmation hearings this week.

Last week, he promised to resign from his consultancies and chairmanship of Children's Health Defense, a leading anti-vaccine nonprofit, if he is confirmed. That is cold comfort to public health experts anxiously eyeing his confirmation.
