Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. toured Nebraska’s University of Nebraska Medical Center, praising its response to the Hantavirus outbreak and touting federal-state collaboration as a model for global health security. But critics warn that massive HHS cuts—over 10,000 jobs—could weaken outbreak readiness. Kennedy counters by highlighting wins against cyclospora and measles, even claiming U.S. leadership in tackling the global measles crisis. He also unveiled a controversial new vaccine schedule slashing shots from 17 to 11, calling American kids the unhealthiest in the world—a move slammed by Nebraska medical groups as scientifically unsound. Meanwhile, Kennedy and Gov. Pillen promoted Medicaid work requirements as a path to personal growth, and spotlighted Nebraska’s push to restrict food stamps for sugary snacks, though that effort remains legally contested.
