（路透社4月8日电）美国卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪周三表示，他将推出一档播客节目，讨论公共卫生议题并与医生和科学家展开对话，称此举是朝着美国顶级卫生机构提高透明度迈出的一步。
肯尼迪在X平台发布的一段时长超过一分钟的视频中表示，该播客将“提出问题、打破禁忌、揭露虚伪、冲突与腐败”，并“对抗那些让我们在精神、道德和身体上都生病的谎言”。

美国卫生与公众服务部的一名发言人告诉路透社，《肯尼迪部长播客》预计将于下周上线。
此举正值肯尼迪改革美国疫苗政策的努力遭遇挫折之际，其中包括公众支持率低下，以及上月联邦法院裁决叫停其减少常规儿童疫苗接种、改组联邦疫苗咨询委员会的关键计划。
路透社上周援引多名高级政府官员的报道称，特朗普政府目前仍在考虑是否就该法院裁决提起上诉，同时该政府正在梳理哪些卫生议题在11月的中期选举中最能吸引选民。

肯尼迪联合创立了反疫苗组织“儿童健康保卫”，并曾将疫苗与自闭症联系起来，这一理论早已被科学研究彻底驳斥。
美国卫生与公众服务部的发言人表示：“《肯尼迪部长播客》将提供一个直接平台，让公众能够参与到对美国家庭至关重要的健康议题讨论中，从慢性病、营养到食品质量和医疗保健成本，同时为塑造这些议题的对话带来彻底的透明度。”
当被问及对该播客的置评时，白宫一名发言人表示：“敬请关注！”

April 8 (Reuters) – U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Wednesday he will launch a podcast to discuss public health issues and hold conversations with doctors and scientists, calling it a step toward greater transparency at the nation’s top health agency.
The podcast will “ask questions and lift the taboos and expose the hypocrisy and the conflicts and the corruption,” and “confront the lies that have made us spiritually, morally and physically sick,” Kennedy said in a video of more than a minute posted on X.

“The Secretary Kennedy Podcast” is expected to launch next week, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services told Reuters.
The move follows setbacks to Kennedy’s efforts to overhaul U.S. vaccination policy, including low public support and a federal court ruling last month that halted key plans to reduce routine childhood vaccinations and revamp a federal vaccine advisory committee.
The Trump administration is still weighing whether to appeal the court ruling, Reuters reported last week citing senior administration officials, as it works through which health issues are most voter-friendly ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Kennedy co-founded the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense, and has linked vaccines to autism, a theory long debunked by scientific research.
“The Secretary Kennedy Podcast will provide a direct platform to engage with the public on the health issues that matter most to American families, from chronic disease and nutrition to food quality and health care costs, while bringing radical transparency to the conversations shaping those issues,” the HHS spokesperson said.
When asked for a comment on the podcast, a White House spokesperson said: “Tune in!”
