(AmericanProsperity.com) – One of America’s most iconic political families is facing a massive rift as John F. Kennedy’s daughter has launched a scathing attack on her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health views.
Caroline Kennedy’s criticism comes as RFK Jr. is poised to take a key role in the Trump administration, highlighting the deep divisions within the Kennedy family over public health.
In a bold move that rocked political circles, President-elect Donald Trump nominated RFK Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS).
Speaking at her farewell address in Canberra, the outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Australia was straightforward when addressing her cousin’s views.
“I think Bobby Kennedy’s views on vaccines are dangerous, but I don’t think that most Americans share them, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens,” she stated firmly.
“I grew up with him, so I’ve known all this for a long time; others are just getting to know him,” Caroline added.
Caroline’s public rebuke is particularly notable given her family’s historical support for public health initiatives.
It underscores the growing rift within the Kennedy clan as more family members distance themselves from RFK Jr.’s dissenting political views.
RFK Jr.’s credentials include being an environmental lawyer and founder of the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense.
He has long been a thorn in the side of the medical establishment. His nomination to lead HHS has sparked controversy among public health officials and vaccine advocates.
However, supporters of RFK Jr. argue that his skepticism of Big Pharma and commitment to vaccine safety make him an ideal candidate to reform the healthcare system.
They see his nomination as a necessary step to address what they perceive as corporate influence on science and public health policy.
As the nation grapples with these complex issues, the Kennedy family’s internal strife serves as a small display of a larger societal divide.
With RFK Jr. potentially stepping into a position of significant influence over national health policy, the coming months are sure to be marked by intense debate and scrutiny.
For now, all eyes are on the confirmation process and how RFK Jr.’s views might shape the future of American healthcare.
