Health Secretary RFK Jr. delivers anti‑vaccine keynote at Children’s Health Defense conference

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. health secretary, opened the Children’s Health Defense conference with a keynote that focused on his criticism of vaccines.

The speech revisited his broader health agenda, including proposals to revise the food pyramid, examine chemical additives, and alter hospital meals, before shifting to topics such as electromagnetic frequency and “chemtrails.”

Kennedy used the platform to appeal to the organization’s anti‑vaccine supporters, positioning vaccine skepticism as a central element of his legacy as health secretary.

The appearance comes weeks before the midterm elections, a period that could influence the political environment for his health initiatives and the broader debate over vaccine policy.
