Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s two-month tenure has been marked by controversial decisions, including dismissing 10,000 public health workers and promoting unproven claims. He's made unsubstantiated links between vaccines and autism, and disputed established medical consensus on measles and its complications. Kennedy's statements on obesity and food dyes have also drawn criticism from scientists for lacking sufficient evidence. While some support his initiatives, his claims have been widely challenged by public health experts and fact-checkers.
