RFK Jr. says public health agencies are on the decline. Here are 5 ways they've improved your health.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disparaged the department he’s been tasked with running in his appearances on Fox News this week, describing HHS as “on a 30- or 40-year decline” and calling the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “a broken agency.”

“When you look back, what would you say is the last great success that our government public health agencies have had?” “Fox and Friends Weekend” co-host Charles Hurt asked on Sunday.

“Well, I don’t think there have been successes,” Kennedy responded.

But career public health professionals and historians say he’s wrong.

Meaning he wants them to decline.

3 of those things are bad, one is a Chinese hoax and who knows what their position on smoking is. Apparently they’re not even anti-tetanus so I really couldn’t say.
