The article critiques Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for his recent actions concerning environmental regulations, particularly regarding the EPA’s designation of certain chemicals as “hazardous substances.” It explores his background as a former Democratic lawyer and how he has garnered support from anti-science Republicans, contrasting this with past Democratic efforts to ban GMOs, processed foods, and vaccines. The author argues that Kennedy’s reliance on epidemiological claims over scientific evidence is detrimental to America, positioning his actions as beneficial mainly for trial lawyers rather than public health. The piece suggests that despite the anti-science movement’s historical ties to the left, Kennedy’s influence has created an unexpected alignment with Republicans, raising concerns about the implications for scientific integrity in environmental policy.
