Before entering politics, Kennedy had a career on the doubt of vaccines, promoting theories contradicted by mountains of scientific evidence on common vaccines that have been studied for decades and administered safely to hundreds of millions of people.
Now, six months as head of health and social services, he has established a number of political changes on access to vaccines for children and adults.
Mary Louise Kelly of NPR and health correspondents Rob Stein and Pien Huang talk about how these changes could have an impact on public health and public portfolios.
