Xavier Becerra, the current Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, is leaving office, possibly replaced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Becerra reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic, its devastating impact, and the success of the mass vaccination program he oversaw. Kennedy, a vocal critic of COVID-19 vaccines, poses a stark contrast to Becerra's approach.
Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra , speaks to The Associated Press, Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2024 in Washington. Thousands of people were dying from COVID-19 every day. Americans were still being ordered to stay-at-home or mask in public. Millions of people were eager to line up for jabs of the newly-released COVID-19 vaccines.
Be worried about the things you can't see, he said. Cyberattacks that have disabled hospitals for weeks at a time and invisible particles of viruses, like the bird flu that has infected U.S. cattle and left one person in Louisiana dead. And now Kennedy, who has said he advises parents against vaccinating their children, is poised to lead the agency that researches, develops and makes vaccine recommendations.
Even with more people enrolled in health insurance, problems with the U.S. health care system persist, Becerra acknowledged.
