RFK Jr. Vs Trump: Vaccine Wars Hit U.S. Soap Opera Levels

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose name alone sounds like a midseason plot twist, is shaking up U.S. vaccine policy so aggressively that even President Trump might have worries—presumably about his TV ratings, not public health. The timeline? Recent enough to unsettle both political camps. Trump, famous for his own vaccine theatrics, now faces an internal rebellion starring RFK Jr., who’s not afraid to rewrite policies—likely without the CNN approval stamp. The clash feels less government and more reality show: one Kennedy trying to out-controversy the President on something millions follow—not a Netflix docuseries, but vaccine mandates. Drama, intrigue, and potentially deadly consequences, all while America watches popcorn in hand.
