82% Informative

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is re-elected to a major role in public health in the U.S. He says many in medicine and public health have great concern over looming changes to decades -old practices and programs that protect us.

He says even if effective public health recommendations are rolled back nationally, such changes will not have immediate effects.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has challenged the need for pediatric vaccination, says Scott Rivkees .

Rivkees: Vaccines for Children has prevented more than 500 million cases of illness, 32 million hospitalizations, $540 billion in healthcare costs, $2.7 trillion in societal costs, and 1.1 million deaths in the U.S. As childhood vaccination rates ebb lower, we will inevitably see localized outbreaks of measles and other diseases in under-vaccinated areas.
