During a recent address to U.S. Health and Human Services agency employees, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to launch an investigation into the childhood vaccine schedule. This decision comes amidst a measles outbreak in West Texas and follows the formation of a new commission titled 'Make America Healthy Again' by President Donald Trump.
Kennedy's pledge to scrutinize vaccines, pesticides, and antidepressants aims to explore their potential impact on the rise of chronic illnesses like diabetes and obesity in the American population. The commission, comprising cabinet members and administration officials, will focus on children's health and is expected to develop a strategy within the next six months.
