RFK Jr. Cuts America’s Childhood Vaccine Schedule

from Bulwark Takes · host The Bulwark

JVL and Jonathan Cohn give their take on the shocking changes coming from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services.

How could it affect vaccine access, liability, and supply? And is this just the first step in a larger anti-vaccine agenda? We break it all down.
