Even as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. prepares to face confirmation hearings today, there has been amusing trouble in “make America healthy” paradise. Will it derail RFK Jr.’s bid to become HHS Secretary?

I wish I didn’t have to write this post, but the press won’t stop referring to RFK Jr. as a “vaccine skeptic.” He is not. He is antivax.
President-Elect Donald Trump has nominated antivax activist, conspiracy theorist, and all around crank Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. We are so screwed.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been antivax for two decades. His fellow travelers are not happy about his leaving out vaccines in his “Make America Healthy Again.” To them it’s an obvious misdirection to hide his antivax views, and they are turning on him.
The process of “integrating” quackery with medicine continues apace as the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health embraces the quackery that is “functional medicine” to promote “whole person health,” whatever that means.
