The confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services raises alarm among scientists regarding the potential impact on US biomedical research. While Kennedy has expressed support for certain areas of research, his history of undermining established scientific evidence, particularly regarding vaccines and infectious diseases, has caused significant concern. Experts like virologist Theodora Hatziioannou fear that Kennedy's leadership could jeopardize the progress of crucial biomedical initiatives and the United States’ standing in global research efforts.
Kennedy's rise to power poses a critical threat to the integrity of US biomedical research, as he has a history of rejecting established science.
Virologist Theodora Hatziioannou warns that having Kennedy oversee health policies is akin to having the wolf guard the sheep.
