Trust No One

Summary: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now the head of health in the U.S. (HHS Secretary), and he is making big changes to how we handle vaccines. He has put people who doubt vaccines in charge of making the rules. They have already changed the schedule for childhood shots and might try to remove COVID-19 vaccines next.

Because of all this, a new poll shows that trust in the CDC is at its lowest point ever. Six years ago, most people trusted the CDC, but now less than half do. We are also seeing a huge outbreak of measles, which many people blame on these anti-vaccine ideas. Overall, Americans are losing trust in the government, doctors, and science, and replacing facts with personal opinions could end up hurting everyone's health.
