Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He will have the power to decide whether or not vaccines must be required and given his track record, has demonstrated that he is strongly opposed to vaccinations.

According to the article, there isn't a confirmed consensus that Kennedy is an anti-vaxxer because of contradicting sources. Are there any direct statements indicating the validity of this statement? BBC News has the same findings including a quote mentioning the fear of Kennedy preventing vaccinations.

From the exact said article, RFK got the Children's Health Defense to accuse him of misinformation, based on the misinformation that he's trying to promote he will probably be interested in gaining a following for the removal of vaccines.
True
