✍️ The article discusses the career of journalist Olivia Nuzzi and her relationship with anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has become a powerful figure in the US Department of Health and Human Services.

👉 Olivia Nuzzi's relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has contributed to the spread of misinformation about vaccines. 👉 Kennedy's anti-vaccine views have caused harm to public health and have been linked to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. 👉 Nuzzi's book and New York Times profile downplay the severity of Kennedy's anti-vaccine views and present him as a charming but flawed character. 👉 Nuzzi's decision to advise and elevate Kennedy's profile has contributed to his rise to power in the US Department of Health and Human Services. 👉 The article argues that Nuzzi's career is built on mistaking juicy tidbits for the real story and that her focus on celebrity gossip and scandals has contributed to the normalization of anti-vaccine views.
