自2025年2月就任美國衛生與公眾服務部部長以來，小羅伯特·F·甘迺迪(Robert F.
Since taking office as the U.S.
已成為美國公共衛生領域一位備受爭議的人物。
Kennedy Jr. has become a polarizing figure in American public health.
他的任期以一系列旨在改變聯邦疫苗政策的爭議決策為特徵，他稱這些是為了確保透明度並對抗慢性疾病所做的努力。
His tenure has been defined by a series of controversial decisions aimed at shifting federal vaccine policy, which he describes as an effort to ensure transparency and combat chronic disease.
他最重大的行動之一是2025年解散了疾控中心(CDC)的免疫實踐諮詢委員會。
One of his most significant actions was the 2025 dissolution of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
透過以持有反疫苗觀點的人士取代原有成員，甘迺迪打破了數十年來既定的科學先例。
By replacing its members with individuals holding anti-vaccine views, Kennedy broke from decades of established scientific precedent.
此外，他的行政機關限制了COVID-19疫苗的建議，並取消了特定的mRNA研究計畫。
Furthermore, his administration has restricted COVID-19 vaccine recommendations and canceled specific mRNA research projects.
這些行動引發了醫療界的強烈批評，他們警告稱，削弱公眾對疫苗的信任可能會導致危險的疾病爆發，例如2026年的麻疹危機。
These actions have drawn sharp criticism from the medical community, which warns that eroding public trust in vaccines could lead to dangerous disease outbreaks, such as the 2026 measles crisis.
除了政策變更外，甘迺迪在其修辭方面面臨著來自立法者的強烈兩黨審查，他經常在沒有穩固證據支持的情況下，將兒童疫苗與慢性疾病掛鉤。
Beyond his policy changes, Kennedy faces intense bipartisan scrutiny from lawmakers regarding his rhetoric, which often links childhood vaccines to chronic illnesses without robust supporting evidence.
雖然甘迺迪將自己的使命描述為對「黃金標準科學」的追求，但批評人士認為，他的干預威脅了聯邦衛生機構的誠信，並破壞了數十年來公共衛生的進步。
While Kennedy frames his mission as a pursuit of 'gold-standard science,' critics argue that his interference threatens the integrity of federal health agencies and undermines decades of progress in public health.
