Robert F Kennedy Jr utsedd som HHS

“All new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure — a radical departure from past practices,” an HHS spokesperson told The Washington Post in response to questions about Kennedy’s comments on the measles vaccines and general vaccine policy.

Right out of the gate in his first major congressional hearing as HHS Secretary, Kennedy laid out a sweeping plan to reshape HHS from the ground up.

Here’s what’s on deck:

• Ending “gain-of-function experiments and research based upon radical gender ideology”

• A full-scale crackdown on fentanyl and drug addiction

• $94 billion toward better food, fitness, and childcare

• FDA action to remove toxic chemicals from the food supply

• Slashing wasteful NIH projects

• Merging mental health and addiction programs for faster, better care

• Giving local leaders more power to fix problems in their own communities

• A major upgrade to Head Start, the early education program for low-income children

“We intend to make the Trump HHS not just the most effective, but also the most compassionate in U.S. history,” Kennedy said.
