Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Distrust in Public Health

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. represents a significant shift in public perception towards health institutions, highlighting a growing skepticism about science and public health agencies. His beliefs, often grounded in conspiracy theories, align with a sentiment of distrust that many Americans now express towards federal agencies like the CDC and FDA. Kennedy has gained traction by promoting ideas that challenge scientific consensus, particularly regarding vaccines and other health interventions, suggesting that these agencies are influenced by corporate interests. This reflects a broader cultural divide where distrust in big institutions resonates across political lines, revealing a longing for alternatives to established scientific narratives.
