According to some people with knowledge of the event, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose first month of inauguration is hidden by the measles pandemic in West Texas, is hidden by the measles pandemic in West Texas, will convened the first meeting of President Trump's American Health Commission, and later meet with “Mahamama” and other allies.
The committee takes its name from a movement created by Chairman Kennedy. The panel, which consists of cabinet secretaries and other high-ranking federal officials, has a broad goal of “understanding and dramatically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic diseases,” according to an executive order signed by Trump on February 13, when Kennedy was confirmed and sworn in the Senate.
The group's first meeting will take place at the White House complex, according to several people attending. That wasn't Trump's schedule and it was not clear whether the president would be present. The agenda is not publicly disclosed.
Kennedy is perhaps best known as a vaccine skeptic. His management of the Texas measles outbreak was scrutinized as scientists and public health experts promoted alternative treatments that included cod liver oil and vitamin A, while avoiding full approval of vaccinations, which they say is the most effective way to prevent the spread of the disease.
Two people have died of measles in recent weeks. I'm a Texas child and a New Mexico adult. Neither of them were vaccinated. They were the first measles death in the United States in 10 years.
Kennedy is also avid supporters of what he calls the country's “chronic disease epidemic,” especially children and foods that have been super-processed in grocery stores. On Monday, he instructed the Food and Drug Administration to explore ways to require food manufacturers to disclose more ingredients to federal regulators.
In some respects, the two chains of Kennedy's defense are intertwined. He has repeatedly suggested that measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, for example, cause autism despite extensive research that does not provide a link.
Trump's executive order cites the rate of increase in autism spectrum disorders, particularly those. This occurs in one of 1 out of 36 Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Department of Health and Human Services said last week that the CDC will investigate potential links between vaccines and autism.
