's controversial policies have been excoriated by doctors as unsafe.
Formerly an environmental lawyer and author, RFK Jr. gained national attention during the 2024 presidential cycle, initially running as a Democrat before switching to an independent candidacy and eventually endorsing Donald Trump. Under his anti-vax stance, measles cases in the U.S. had reached a 20-year high, and outbreaks were linked to falling vaccination rates.RFK Jr. has promoted - and in some cases, moved to remove warnings against - unproven therapies, including raw camel milk and chlorine dioxide for autism, and has pushed to stop mRNA vaccine research.
Calls for his resignation increased following his admission to past drug use and his continued focus on questioning the safety of vaccines. Critics continue to argue that his policies, such as the cancelation of mRNA research funding and questioning the safety of common medications like Tylenol during pregnancy, are jeopardizing public health.
