Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Wednesday that he will launch a podcast focused on public health issues, featuring conversations with doctors and scientists. He described the initiative as a move toward greater transparency within the nation’s top health agency.
The podcast will “ask questions and lift the taboos and expose the hypocrisy and the conflicts and the corruption,” and “confront the lies that have made us spiritually, morally and physically sick,” Kennedy said in a video of more than a minute posted on X.

The move comes after a series of setbacks to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to reshape U.S. vaccination policy, including limited public support and a federal court ruling last month that blocked key proposals to scale back routine childhood immunizations and overhaul a federal vaccine advisory panel.
The Trump administration is still considering whether to appeal the decision, as officials evaluate which health issues may resonate most with voters ahead of the November midterm elections.
Kennedy co-founded the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense, and has linked vaccines to autism, a theory long debunked by scientific research.
“The Secretary Kennedy Podcast will provide a direct platform to engage with the public on the health issues that matter most to American families, from chronic disease and nutrition to food quality and health care costs, while bringing radical transparency to the conversations shaping those issues,” the HHS spokesperson said.
When asked for a comment on the podcast, a White House spokesperson said: “Tune in!”
