A number of Trump’s prospective cabinet picks have generated controversy — and among them is anti-vax activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. If confirmed, Kennedy will become the nation’s top health official — but will his appointment threaten current protections against infectious diseases in the US? Many professionals think so.
Katie Couric sits down with filmmaker of "Shot in the Arm," Scott Hamilton Kennedy, and astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson to better understand who RFK Jr is, the roots of the anti-vax movement, and the future of public health.
