The health in USA will be in the hands of a anti-vaccines. The elected president Donald Trump announced this Thursday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, a controversial choice that worries the medical community and has renewed interest in all conspiracy theories what a flag
RFK Jr. It is part of one of the most influential dynasties in USA. His uncle was the former president John F. Kennedy and his father, the former attorney general Robert F. Kennedyboth Democrats and murdered. For much of his career, Trump’s pick was a lawyer for a non-profit environmental organization, a position from which he denounced the pollution of the rivers and defended the use of renewable energies. That led him to confront the biotechnology multinational Monsanto for the use of herbicides and to win it in court.
Kennedy Jr. and his team have claimed that “large corporations have hijacked our government agencies” and that public officials “have an interest in the mass poisoning of the American public.” For this reason, they have promised to transform the system of public health and close some of the agencies that oversee the approval of medicinesfood safety and surveillance diseases. They have also assured that they will eliminate the use of chemical products for feedingas well as pesticides y crops genetically modified, proposals that the sector farmer American rejects.

Conspiracies
Although his career as a jurist is extensive and renowned, in recent years Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has embraced all types of conspiracies more or less striking, a shift that was accentuated after the emergence in 2020 of the pandemic of the covid. In addition to that which accuses Washington of “poisoning” citizens, these are some of their most controversial positions.
One of his great obsessions is to believe that vaccines cause autisma theory widely rejected by the scientific community, which has not found any link between the two. Even so, Kennedy Jr. assures that the Government knew about it but “knowingly allowed the pharmaceutical industry poisoned an entire generation of American children,” he wrote in 2006 in Rolling Stone magazine.
The new Secretary of Health and Human Services has said publicly that the US “invested hundreds of millions of dollars in microbes ethnically targeted” and that the Covid-19 is aimed “at attacking Caucasians and blacks”, while “the most immune people are the Jews Ashkenazim and the Chinese.” Also that the pandemic was a “biological weapons problem”, although there is no evidence to support this widespread claim among conservative circles.
Kennedy Jr. has falsely said that the coronavirus vaccine coronavirus It is the “deadliest ever manufactured”, a statement denied by public health organizations and the scientific community, which confirms that it is safe and effective and that it has contributed to saving millions of lives around the world.
Trump’s new ally also accused the former medical advisor of the White Housethe doctor Anthony Faucito exaggerate the pandemic to promote vaccines, a “coup d’état against Western democracy” in which, according to his theory, the billionaire would also have participated Bill Gatesco-founder of Microsoft.
Over the years, Kennedy Jr. has promoted all kinds of controversial or outright discredited treatments. For example, it has encouraged drinking raw, unpasteurized milk, although it contains dangerous bacteria such as salmonella or listeria. He has also recommended taking drugs such as ivermectin o to hydroxychloroquine against covid, although the health authorities have not authorized it, considering them “ineffective” and “dangerous” to health.
Kennedy Jr. has also linked the mass shootings in US schools with antidepressant drugs, a scientifically non-existent correlation. “Before the introduction of Prozacwe had almost none of these events,” he said in a talk with Elon Musk.
