Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as the new head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, launching a new era in U.S. health policy after the one-time presidential hopeful openly questioned the safety of widely used vaccines and promised to remove artificial food dyes from America’s food supply.
Kennedy was approved largely along party lines, 52-48, after tense confirmation hearings in which he was questioned over the possibility he could dismantle America’s vaccine infrastructure and his flip on abortion policy.
