Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine Health Secretary, has issued a lengthy social media response to a New York Times article. The report alleged that insiders within his health agency believe Kennedy is disengaged from his duties. Kennedy's extensive rebuttal, however, appears to validate some of the report's claims. The Times article, based on interviews with a dozen sources, suggested Kennedy shows little interest in the agency's operational details and has limited interaction with career staff.

Kennedy's response focused heavily on criticizing the veteran journalist Sheryl Gay Stolberg and the Times, arguing his public calendar refutes the report's findings.
