WATCH: Trump Lauds New HHS Head RFK Jr. in 2025 Address to Congress
U.S. President Donald Trump praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, during his March 4 address to a joint session of Congress, marking a significant shift in federal health policy.
Trump highlighted the alarming rise in child cancer and autism rates, stating that autism has surged from one in 10,000 to one in 36 children. This dramatic increase has sparked widespread concern among parents and medical professionals alike. Former CHD Chairman Kennedy has been a longtime advocate for vaccine safety and has questioned the role of childhood vaccines in the autism epidemic—a stance that has fueled heated debate in public health circles.
As the new administration continues its push for reform, the impact of Kennedy’s leadership at HHS remains to be seen, particularly on contentious issues like vaccine safety, medical freedom, and public health policy.
Congratulations Bobby!
