Summary

72% Informative

RFK Jr. said his federal department is undergoing an “AI revolution” He implored viewers to “stop trusting the experts,” and, presumably, put their trust into AI instead of scientific consensus.

Kennedy said that AI will rapidly accelerate the drug approval process at the FDA , implying it will fully replace animal testing.

The top US vaccine regulator at the FDA was forced out over his refusal to grant Kennedy unfettered access to the VAERS database.

Now, with little standing in his way, Kennedy seems poised to introduce AI into VAERS.

The key question is if an AI vaccine risk-assessment system could be developed fairly and accurately under Kennedy 's leadership.
