SYDNEY (Reuters) - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s views on vaccines are dangerous, his cousin and outgoing U.S. ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy said on Monday, days after Donald Trump picked him to head the United States' top health agency.

Caroline Kennedy said RFK Jr.'s views on vaccines are "dangerous" and at odds with that of most Americans, including the Kennedy clan.

"I grew up with him, so I've known all this for a long time. Others are just getting to know him," she said, drawing laughter from the crowd at the National Press Club in Canberra. "I would say that our family is united in terms of our support for the public health sector and infrastructure and has greatest admiration for the medical profession in our country, and Bobby Kennedy has got a different set of views."

RFK Jr., the son and nephew of two titans of Democratic politics, wants to tackle what he calls the "chronic disease epidemic" of conditions including obesity, diabetes and autism. But critics point to his history of making false medical claims, including statements that vaccines are linked to autism.

3. That was a clever cut by her.

Basically, she is saying that Bobby does NOT support the public health sector and infrastructure and has little admiration for the medical profession in our country.
