Kennedy listed several other things as possible causes of chronic diseases such as radiation from electronic devices, farming chemicals, processed foods, food allergies, tiny plastic particles in the environment, and chemicals used to make non-stick pans.

But this week, Kennedy struck a markedly different tone. His first act as Health Secretary was to announce an investigation whether childhood vaccinations might be linked to chronic diseases.
“We will convene representatives of all viewpoints to study the causes for the drastic rise in chronic disease,” Kennedy told the assembled workers at HHS headquarters on Tuesday.
