Medical journal The Lancet blasts RFK Jr.’s health work as a failure

Here's something that might surprise you — The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals, didn’t hold back in a recent editorial about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stint as US Health Secretary. Beth Mole, writing for Technology, reports that they called his first year a total failure — especially his own efforts. Now, you might remember The Lancet for notoriously publishing that bogus vaccine-autism study by Andrew Wakefield, which they retracted years later. So, when they turn around and criticize Kennedy, it’s a big deal. They accuse him of spreading misinformation and politicizing health policies — harming vulnerable Americans, particularly children. Kennedy’s embraced some pretty debunked conspiracy theories, and The Lancet’s pointed out that his approach has done more harm than good. So, what does this keep telling us? Even the most unlikely trusted sources are starting to question his impact. Honestly, it’s a stark reminder — credible science and leadership matter, especially now.
