Hear me out: RFK could be a transformational health secretary | Neil Barsky

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : In retrospect, whatever harm Trump might have otherwise inflicted, I would say we are a better country for the First Step Act.
54% : RFK Jr has been rightly pilloried for promoting a litany of theories linking vaccines with autism, chemicals in the water supply to gender identity, how people contract Aids and saying the Covid-19 vaccine, which in fact stemmed the deadliest pandemic of our lifetimes, was itself "the deadliest vaccine ever made".
47% : As founder of the Marshall Project, the non-profit journalism organization that covers the US criminal justice system, I believe criminal justice reform should also be a matter of national urgency, yet at the time, I was ambivalent about efforts to work with the administration.
21% : After all, it was the criminal justice advocates such as Van Jones and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner who coaxed him into supporting the First Step Act, a significant piece of criminal justice reform (and one which Trump now forswears).
