John Oliver has already spent time on Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, but on Sunday he turned his attention to another prominent White House official: U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F Kennedy Jr.
In Sunday’s Last Week Tonight video above the late night show host breaks down everything from RFK Jr.’s cuts to public health agencies — including some programs he didn’t realise he was cutting — through to his views on vaccinations and how these are influencing his decision-making.
“Kennedy is still pushing Vitamin A as a measles treatment,” says Oliver, “which seems to have had consequences given multiple children in West Texas have been treated for Vitamin A toxicity stemming from at-home attempts to treat measles, and all the while Kennedy’s funding cuts have hampered States’ ability to mitigate this outbreak.”
