Kennedy’s battles with the medical establishment

Season 2025 Episode 48 | 13m 50s

This month’s cover story in The Atlantic provides a revealing look at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s robust effort to undermine and even overthrow whatever is left of the American medical consensus. The story comes from a series of interviews about Kennedy's life, his views and his many, many controversies, even as the staff of the U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services warned him against it.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
