Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first month as Health and Human Services secretary: Touting French fries and casting doubts on vaccines.

Public health agencies cancel vaccine meetings, research under Kennedy 's watch.

“What he is trying to do is scare about the safety of vaccines,” an FDA vaccine adviser says.

The U.S. registered its first measles death in a decade this year , but Kennedy has downplayed this year ’s outbreaks.

Kennedy himself has publicly advocated for an alternative treatment for measles: Vitamin A.

The CDC has assisted with vaccination efforts in West Texas , but the CDC has updated its guidance to give Vitamin A to children with severe measles.
