Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly appointed as U.S. health secretary, pledged to Sen. Bill Cassidy that he would not alter the federal childhood vaccine schedule.

However, in his first address to Health and Human Services (HHS) employees, he announced an investigation into childhood vaccines.

The inquiry, under Trump’s new "Make America Healthy Again" commission, raises concerns about his commitment.

Critics, including vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit, question his stance, fearing policies that could undermine vaccine accessibility.
