If RFK issued a rule forbidding surgeons from using antiseptic instrument cleaners... well yeah I guess that would be "challenging orthodoxy." Another phrase is "killing people."
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
