The Making of America's Most Prominent Anti-Vaxxer

How did Robert F. Kennedy — once the heir-apparent to the Kennedy
family's Democratic dynasty — become the Secretary of Health in
the Trump administration and the nation's most important
anti-vaccine advocate? Michael Scherer, staff writer at The
Atlantic, sat down with Kennedy for 7+ hours, getting to know him
during jean-clad workouts, Congressional hearings, and the plane
ride where Kennedy learned of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The image Michael paints of Kennedy, in a profile published in
The Atlantic this month, is a man of extreme changes — a
promising political figure turned heroin addict, an environmental
lawyer turned anti-vaccine activist, a Democratic presidential
candidate turned Republican Secretary of Health. Contributor Alex
Wagner sits down with Michael for an interesting conversation to
ask if a better understanding of the strange political figure can
help us better make sense of his dangerous approach to health and
politics.
