Sebelius warns of dangers in Kennedy's potential leadership of Health and Human Services
Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius expressed strong concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. potentially leading the agency. She described his vaccine skepticism as "terrifying" and warned it could undermine decades of public health efforts. Sebelius stated that Kennedy lacks the necessary organizational management experience for HHS, which has over 83,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion budget. She emphasized that his views on vaccines are not supported by scientific evidence. During a CNN interview, Sebelius recalled past meetings with Kennedy, where he questioned the credibility of health agencies. She criticized his approach, saying he presents his opinions as facts without scientific backing, which she finds dangerous for public health.
