A Doctor Fact Checks Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s CNN Interview

A CNN interview with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was fact-checked for misleading claims about vaccines and public health.

The article says his comments on COVID-19 deaths, pediatric vaccine effectiveness, the vaccine-autism link, and the U.S. measles outbreak conflicted with scientific evidence.

Because Kennedy is a top health official, inaccurate statements from him can fuel vaccine hesitancy and weaken trust in public health guidance.
