Top Texas doctor warns Robert F. Kennedy's appointment would endanger public health
One of Texas' top infectious disease doctors warns that a dangerous era of medical disinformation will take hold if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed as Department of Health & Human Services secretary. In comments to Texas Public Radio, Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor College of Medicine's National School of Tropical Medicine, said Kennedy's repeated false claims about the dangers of vaccines could endanger the nation's infrastructure to combat disease, ultimately costing lives. "He doesn't really understand the vaccine science and is not really interested in understanding the science," Hotez said during a Wednesday appearance on TPR.
