It's time for a big name to be OK with vaccines but it seems that Kennedy is having trouble.

         First, let's get to it.  Kennedy is the guy who Trump wants to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. But here's where things get interesting.  Kennedy goes around saying he's not against vaccines, but then he goes on to ignore lots of solid science about them.  He has been saying that he needs to see more data and scientific evidence.  And when Kennedy was finally shown some evidence by Senator Bill Cassidy, he brushed it off. Being the Big boss of Health and Human Services means going with the facts and Kennedy needs to up his game.

        Vaccines have been a hot topic for a long time. Many people believe that vaccines could be linked to autism, even when they are not. Kennedy agreed that vaccines help prevent diseases like measles and other viruses but the doctors say that he didn't sell it. It seems that Kennedy has been downplaying the impact of vaccines.

        When Kennedy was questioned by the medical bigwigs and doctors, he went on to talk about a study with some serious issues.  He said that there was no good system to track if the vaccines are working or not. Asking questions is good but only when you do your due diligence and backing it up with a solid fact.

        Kennedy had some controversial remarks too.  He said that the African Americans might need a different vaccination schedule than whites.  That has caused quite a stir.  What Kennedy said was harmful by promoting a different vaccination schedule due to race instead of biological factors.

        Finally, Kennedy is not doing the right thing by not supporting the HPV vaccine.  HPV vaccines help prevent cancer. There are studies showing that HPV vaccines are effective and life-saving.  Kennedy did not directly support the vaccine and went on to say that it might cause cancer.

        This whole back and forth about vaccines and Kennedy has raised some eyebrows. Experts in the field worry that Kennedy's lack of understanding might have serious consequences for public health. They are concerned that if Kennedy comes into power

        he might lead to serious consequences.

        Vaccines have been a big part of fighting diseases.  From smallpox to polio to even the flu. Vaccines have helped the human race combat the deadliest of diseases.

        So, it's crucial to get the facts right and stand on the side of science.   Kennedy's approach to vaccines has the potential to cause serious harm to public health and possibly lead to the return of diseases that we thought we had defeated.
