RFK Jr. tells Children's Health Defense conference they have a friend in the White House
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered the keynote address at the Children's Health Defense conference in Washington, D.C., telling attendees they have a "friend" in President Trump's White House. Kennedy questioned the safety of routine childhood vaccines and highlighted administration efforts to reshape federal vaccine policy, including an executive order to space out the MMR vaccine. The speech came as the U.S. faces its worst measles outbreak since 1991, with Pennsylvania reporting four measles-associated deaths this year.
