Fox News hosts elevated Robert F. Kennedy Jr to help return President Donald Trump to the White House. Then they greased the skids for Kennedy’s confirmation as secretary of health and human services. But as he works to demolish American health care research, they are nowhere to be found.
Kennedy, a prominent vaccine skeptic who once described COVID-19 shots as “the deadliest vaccine ever made,” announced last week that he is terminating nearly $500 million in federal contracts supporting the development of next-generation vaccines and other treatments based on mRNA technology. This announcement drew harsh criticism from infection disease experts and other scientists.
While Kennedy’s announcement was widely discussed on MSNBC and CNN, as well as by national broadcast, print and digital outlets, Fox News has almost entirely ignored it. And while Fox may not want to claim credit for Kennedy as he stifles crucial medical research, it certainly deserves it.
