“I think Bobby Kennedy’s views on vaccines are dangerous, but I don’t think that most Americans share them,” she said in remarks previously reported by The New York Times. Kennedy told NBC News a day after the election that he would not take away people’s vaccines.

CNN —President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks are unique for many reasons. Kennedy brings his addiction worldview to prescription drugs such as those overseen by the Food and Drug Administration, which he would oversee if confirmed as HHS secretary. But Musk denied allegations of past drug use as reported in The Wall Street Journal early this year. Federal employees are barred from taking illegal drugs, and there are no reports to indicate that any of Trump’s Cabinet or other administration picks are using illegal drugs.
