Ex-FDA Chief Warns RFK Jr.'s Health Plans Could Endanger Lives

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is actively opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing concerns over RFK Jr.'s vaccine skepticism and potential public health risks. Gottlieb has been discussing these issues with Senate Republicans, who hold a majority, and warns that RFK Jr.'s policies could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases. The nomination faces challenges from senators with agricultural and anti-abortion interests, and Gottlieb doubts Congress will impose restrictions on HHS funding to control RFK Jr.'s actions.
