In a recent interview with Dr. Phil, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversially advised parents to conduct their own research before vaccinating their infants. He challenged the safety of the measles vaccine and the FDA's independence, offering a perspective that diverges sharply from established public health advice. Mr. Kennedy emphasized parental responsibility in researching not only vaccines but also other aspects of childcare. His remarks come amid a significant measles outbreak in the U.S., raising concerns due to the potential for misinformation to influence vaccination decisions.
Mr. Kennedy emphasized the need for parents to research vaccine safety, stating, "I would say that we live in a democracy, and part of the responsibility of being a parent is to do your own research."
He indicated that while the vaccine can prevent measles, he believes individuals should have the freedom to decide, saying, "If you want to avoid spreading measles, the best thing you can do is take that vaccine."
