RFK Jr. claims AI will replace doctors' expertise, cites it on masks and vaccines
At a Make America Healthy Again event, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Vice President JD Vance that artificial intelligence would free Americans from reliance on public health experts. Kennedy claimed AI tools are 'better informed than any doctor' and predicted they would contradict official guidance on masks, social distancing and vaccine transmission. A test of Google's Gemini chatbot on masks contradicted Kennedy's claim, confirming that masks do reduce spread of respiratory infections.
