Abstract

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ascension to the head of Health and Human Services, the federal agency that houses the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, troubles the idea that the United States ought to base public health, food, and drug policy on scientific consensus. Many will be watching to see how the health of individuals and institutions fare under his leadership.
