On Wednesday, Kennedy shared a video on X in which he argued that, for decades, Americans have been told to "trust the system," yet children continue to get sicker, and proposed solutions don't work.

"Many of us have come to the conclusion that government lies to us," RFK Jr. – now a government official himself – said.

He went on to explain that the show will feature conversations with "critical thinkers," including "independent doctors, respected scientists, and leaders in medical innovation and research."

He vowed to "name the names of the forces that obstruct public health," as he said the aim of the show will be to "confront the lies that have made us spiritually, morally, and physically sick."

Prior to his role at HHS, Kennedy was a prominent anti-vaccine activist and environmental attorney.

He has used his role to push what many critics and health experts have described as medical misinformation, such as the unfounded claim that vaccines cause autism.

His views have also influenced medical policies, such as new changes to federal immunization recommendations.

Liam Nahill, the HHS digital director, told AP News the project "is part of our larger strategy to bring the Make America Healthy Again message to as wide an audience as we can."
