Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blasted the United States as “the sickest country in the world” as he defended the Trump administration’s health agenda. Kennedy clashed with Democrats on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, as he was grilled on his department’s 2026 budget. Congresswoman Kim Schrier accused Kennedy of lying to the American people in a back-and-forth over vaccines, stating “I will lay every death from a vaccine preventable illness at your feet.” Kennedy abruptly fired all 17 members of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices earlier this month. The Health and Human Services Secretary railed against the status quo at agencies like the National Institute’s of Health, arguing it should be focusing on how microplastics, seed oils and high-fructose corn syrup impact American children’s health.
