Kennedy’s Vaccine Pivot Triggers Backlash Within His Base
TL;DR
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s push to overhaul the vaccine program has provoked anger among his anti-vaccine allies as regulators briefly dropped—and then revived—the review of Moderna’s mRNA flu shot, fueling claims he’s betrayed the movement by leaving much of the vaccine apparatus intact while shifting focus to other causes like real-food policy. Veteran supporters, including Derrick Wynne who opposed vaccines, say Kennedy used the movement for traction, underscoring a widening rift ahead of the midterms.
