RFK Jr visits epicentre of measles outbreak after death of second infected child

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited the epicentre of Texas' still-growing measles outbreak, the same day a funeral was held for a second young child who was not vaccinated and died from a measles-related illness. Knnedy said in a social media post that he was working to "control the outbreak" and went to Gaines County on Sunday to comfort the families who have buried two young children. He was seen outside of a Mennonite church where the funeral services were held, but he did not attend a nearby news conference held by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the outbreak.

Utah bans fluoride in public drinking water, a first in the US

Utah has become the first US state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, pushing past opposition from dentists and national health organisations who warn the move will lead to medical problems that disproportionately affect low-income communities. Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed legislation on Thursday barring cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems. Florida, Ohio and South Carolina are considering similar measures, while in New Hampshire, North Dakota and Tennessee, lawmakers have rejected them. A bill in Kentucky to make fluoridation optional stalled in the state Senate. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's choice to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, appears before the Senate Finance Commit...

Vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr is sworn in as Trump’s health chief after a close Senate vote

Robert F. Kennedy Jr has been sworn as President Donald Trump’s health secretary after a close Senate vote, putting the prominent vaccine skeptic in control of $US1.7 trillion ($2.7m) in federal spending, vaccine recommendations and food safety as well as health insurance programs for roughly half the country. Nearly all Republicans fell in line behind Trump despite hesitancy over Kennedy’s views on vaccines, voting 52-48 to elevate the scion of one of America’s most storied political — and Democratic — families to secretary of the Health and Human Services Department. Democrats unanimously opposed Kennedy. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who had polio as a child, was the only “no” vote among Republicans, mirroring his stands against Trump's picks for the Pentagon chief and d...

Donald Trump has pulled Anthony Fauci’s security detail, source says

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's security detail that was being provided and paid for by the National Institutes of Health, a source familiar with the situation tells CNN. It was pulled on Thursday night. Given he continues to face ongoing threats due to his public-facing role during the Covid-19 pandemic, Fauci has now hired his own private security that he'll pay for himself, the source told CNN. This comes as Trump continues his retribution tour against the officials who previously served under him. He has also yanked security details from former national security adviser John Bolton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
