Kennedy Jr. will kick off a tour through Southwestern states on Monday, spotlighting initiatives that emphasize nutrition and lifestyle choices as tools for combating disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Make America Healthy Again tour, which will take Mr. Kennedy through parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, is intended to draw attention to some of the secretary\u2019s common-ground interests, but the first day is scheduled to end with a highly contentious one: a news conference to highlight Utah\u2019s new law that bans adding fluoride to public drinking water supplies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The tour comes as questions grow about the federal government\u2019s response to a measles outbreak in West Texas that has spread to other states. The death of an unvaccinated 8-year-old girl there last week was the second confirmed fatality from measles in a decade in the United States. Mr. Kennedy attended the girl\u2019s funeral on Sunday and met with her family before continuing to Utah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s staff said that over the course of three days, he planned to visit multiple health centers, including a medical school\u2019s \u201cteaching kitchen\u201d to train students on managing chronic disease using dietary choices. He is scheduled to meet with leaders of Navajo Nation to discuss the cultural and logistical challenges of providing high-quality health care to tribal groups and to visit a charter school in New Mexico that \u201cintegrates healthy eating and physical fitness into its daily student life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During his first months in office, Mr. Kennedy\u2019s policies have been unfurled with great brouhaha, but the secretary himself has been relatively low profile, particularly for an official with his degree of fame. The White House has encouraged Mr. Kennedy to take a more public-facing approach to his role, but the timing of his first major push out in the country will require toeing a careful line around the most conspicuous issue on the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Public health experts say the measles outbreak that has now infected nearly 500 people in West Texas is driven by low vaccination rates. Mr. Kennedy, who is famously skeptical of vaccine safety, shifted his rhetoric after the little girl\u2019s funeral, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/seckennedy\/status\/1908967854394982414?s=46&amp;t=CXMzot_Mnt2cwoVN3IVm7w\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">posting on X<\/a>: \u201cThe most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was the most definitive statement he has made endorsing vaccines as a preventive tool, but some public health experts were dismayed that he did not explicitly recommend that parents vaccinate their children and did not say the vaccines were safe. And several hours later <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecKennedy\/status\/1909049021211263268?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&amp;stream=top\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he posted on X again<\/a>, praising two doctors who are using unproven treatments to care for hundreds of children with measles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For months, Mr. Kennedy has emphasized that vaccination was a matter of parental choice and encouraged people to consider unproven regimens like vitamin A, which can <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/25\/health\/measles-kennedy-vitamin-a.html#:~:text=At%20high%20doses%2C%20vitamin%20A,rare%20instances%2C%20seizures%20and%20coma.\" title=\"\">lead to toxicity<\/a>, and suggested that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/health\/measles-texas-kennedy-fox.html\" title=\"\">poor lifestyle choices<\/a> were at play among victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Diet and nutrition \u201cdon\u2019t offer any benefit to prevent infection with measles whatsoever,\u201d said Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and immunologist who has studied measles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Healthy foods and exercise can \u201chelp limit the consequences of many infections, including measles, but will not prevent them,\u201d he added. \u201cPrevention is by far the best medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy is likely to face further questions about measles during his news conference Monday afternoon in Salt Lake City, though the event is aimed at calling attention to an entirely different issue: fluoridation of drinking water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy has urged states and municipalities to remove fluoride from drinking water <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/02\/us\/politics\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-trump-fluoride-water.html\" title=\"\">since before the 2024 election<\/a>. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.org\/resources\/community-initiatives\/fluoride-in-water\/fluoridation-faqs\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">American Dental Association has said<\/a> that water fluoridation reduces dental decay by at least 25 percent in children and adults.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fluoridation debate stretches back to the 1950s, when conspiracy theories swirled around whether the practice was a Communist plot to cause brain damage. Some studies suggest that excess exposure to fluoride \u2014 at levels twice the amount recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency \u2014 could harm infants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has listed fluoridation as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/07\/health\/rfk-jr-maha-tour.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A day after attending the funeral of an unvaccinated child who died of measles, Health Secretary Robert F.
