  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Health Secretary Sparks Controversy, From Sickle Cell to Skinned Cubs

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Health Secretary Sparks Controversy, From Sickle Cell to Skinned Cubs
    May 7 2025
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. remains a lightning rod for controversy and headlines, especially in his current role as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Just days ago, Kennedy made a splash in Charleston, South Carolina, addressing the National Conference of Insurance Legislators and focusing on expanding access to treatment for sickle cell disease. He spotlighted South Carolina's leadership in shaping the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Cell and Gene Therapy Access Model, receiving a standing ovation from state lawmakers but also drawing a small group of protesters who questioned his commitment to science and vaccine policy, with one critic saying, "He doesn't understand or care about science. It's killing kids," according to ABC News 4.

    Earlier in April, Kennedy made headlines in Utah, where he praised local lawmakers for passing legislation that bans fluoride from water systems, aligning with his "Make America Healthy Again"—or MAHA—initiative. PBS Utah covered his visit, where Kennedy shared the stage with other Trump administration cabinet members and celebrated Utah’s approach to public health policy. His visit also coincided with local debates over labor rights and tariffs, but it was the health policy headlines that stuck.

    On the national stage, Kennedy has been making the rounds on his MAHA tour, touting his movement's mission to tackle the epidemic of chronic childhood illness and overhaul the nation's approach to health, as highlighted by recent HHS press releases. His official channels, including the Kennedy24 campaign site and Instagram, continue to promote his brand and messages, featuring family updates and political calls to action.

    But as ever, the headlines are not all friendly. PBS aired a critical fact-check on Kennedy’s remarks on autism after he declared that "autism destroys families" and described children with autism in what experts called a grossly exaggerated and stigmatizing manner during an April press conference. Medical authorities and individuals on the spectrum pushed back, pointing out that Kennedy’s claims do not represent the majority experience of autistic people.

    Meanwhile, social media has been buzzing about an offbeat, even bizarre, story involving Kennedy. The Independent reported on a video clip that went viral, in which Kennedy describes collecting, skinning, and intending to eat a bear cub killed in a road accident. The incident, filmed after an interview with Roseanne Barr, was later included in a New Yorker profile and set off a wave of reactions on X, with many users expressing outrage or disbelief at the anecdote.

    While some of Kennedy’s activities are par for the course for a health secretary—policy speeches, program launches, conference appearances—the continued controversies, both in public comments and viral social media moments, ensure he remains a prominent and polarizing figure. With critics and supporters watching his every move, every utterance, and every tweet, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is still very much at the center of the nation’s political and cultural conversation.

  • HHS Secretary Kennedy Sparks Controversy: Vaccine Trials, Autism Claims, and a Dead Bear Cub

    HHS Secretary Kennedy Sparks Controversy: Vaccine Trials, Autism Claims, and a Dead Bear Cub
    May 4 2025
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the current Health and Human Services Secretary, has made significant policy announcements in recent days that have stirred controversy in the medical community. On May 3rd, Kennedy announced that his department will now require new vaccines to undergo placebo-controlled trials before approval, which an HHS spokesperson called "a radical departure from past practices." This policy would force vaccine developers to conduct studies where half of participants receive only a saline shot, raising concerns among medical experts who consider such testing potentially unethical for vaccines already proven safe and effective.

    Kennedy is also spearheading a $50-million research initiative aimed at understanding the causes of autism spectrum disorder. During an April press conference, he made several scientifically disputed claims about autism, including that it's preventable and caused by environmental exposure rather than genetics.

    These policy changes come amid ongoing measles outbreaks in the southwestern United States that began earlier this year. Kennedy's tenure as HHS Secretary started during this outbreak, which included the first measles death in a decade. His initial response promoted controversial treatments including cod liver oil, steroid inhalation, and vitamin A, while overstating potential harms of vaccination.

    Meanwhile, Kennedy's "Take Back Your Health" campaign has received new funding, though specific details remain limited. His appointment continues to face criticism from medical professionals, particularly regarding his vaccine skepticism. When confirmed as HHS Secretary on February 13, 2025, former Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell was the sole Republican to vote against him, citing concerns about Kennedy's stance on vaccines.

    Prior to his government role, Kennedy made headlines for unusual incidents, including a viral video where he admitted to disposing of a dead bear cub he found as roadkill. The anecdote and accompanying photo of Kennedy with his hand in the dead cub's jaws spread across social media last year during his presidential campaign, which ultimately led to his current cabinet position in the Trump administration.

  • RFK Jr.'s Autism Controversy: Reshaping U.S. Health Amid Upheaval

    RFK Jr.'s Autism Controversy: Reshaping U.S. Health Amid Upheaval
    Apr 30 2025
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been making headlines this week with controversial statements and public appearances across Texas. On April 29, the Health and Human Services Secretary visited Sawyer Farms in Hillsboro, Texas, alongside Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to discuss food security and agricultural health. During this visit, Kennedy downplayed the severity of the ongoing measles outbreak, stating that measles deserves less attention than chronic diseases like diabetes and autism.

    At Texas A&M University in College Station, Kennedy claimed that Europe's measles deaths are higher than the U.S.'s "four deaths in 20 years," minimizing the significance of two Texas children dying from measles this year. He remarked, "Every child who gets measles gets a headline. When I was kid, there were 2 million measles cases a year and nobody wrote about them."

    Earlier this month, Kennedy sparked outrage with controversial comments about autism following a CDC report showing autism now affects 1 in 31 eight-year-olds. At an April 16 press conference, Kennedy described autism as something that "destroys families" and claimed many autistic children would "never pay taxes, never hold a job, never play baseball, never write a poem, never go out on a date." Parents and advocates quickly condemned these remarks as spreading misinformation and reinforcing harmful stereotypes.

    Kennedy has ordered the National Institutes of Health to investigate what he called "environmental exposures" potentially contributing to rising autism rates, dismissing the medical consensus that increased diagnoses reflect better awareness and broader diagnostic criteria.

    In his first seven weeks leading HHS, Kennedy has dramatically reshaped the U.S. health apparatus, eliminating entire agency divisions, forcing out top scientists, and seeking greater control over scientific decision-making at agencies like the CDC and FDA. During an April 11 visit to Utah, Kennedy praised state lawmakers for passing legislation banning fluoride from water systems, aligning with his "Make America Healthy Again" initiatives.

    Kennedy's rapid transformation of American healthcare has left the sprawling health department in what employees describe as "an unprecedented state of upheaval," despite President Trump reportedly assuring pharmaceutical executives he would "keep Kennedy under control."
