In the second Trump administration, a surge in scams and pseudoscience has emerged, with individuals like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading the charge against vaccines. Kennedy promotes dubious health claims and undermines scientific authority, affecting crucial research institutions like the NIH and FDA whose funding has been cut. Suppressed scientific inquiry leaves the public vulnerable to fraudulent health claims and puts advancements in significant medical research at risk. This environment reflects a broader trend of growing mistrust and a disdain for expertise, putting Americans in peril as charlatans thrive.
‘Scams and snake oil proliferate, as do the hucksters who promote them.’
‘Funding cuts and layoffs are weakening major institutions like the NIH and the FDA... scientists searching for cures... say their work is in jeopardy.’
