RFK Jr. Advocates AI to Replace Medical Experts at Make America Healthy Again Event

At a Make America Healthy Again gathering on Tuesday, anti‑vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy opened a fireside chat with Vice President JD Vance that veered sharply from the event’s usual focus on healthy lifestyles and drug‑maker mistrust. Kennedy praised artificial intelligence, claiming the Trump administration is “making it easy for every American to use AI” and that the technology would free citizens from the “medical tyranny” of doctors and health experts. He urged Americans to use AI for second opinions on medical recommendations, asserting that AI is “better informed than any doctor in the country.” Kennedy also suggested that AI would confirm his misinformation about vaccines and public‑health guidance, arguing that the public would no longer be dominated by officials telling them to “trust the experts.” Vance, who expected a discussion on weight loss and acid, was surprised by the AI‑centric turn.
