RFK Jr urges Americans to "take back your health"

As the United States celebrated 250 years of independence from Britain this Fourth of July with all manner of festivities, the Secretary of Health & Human Services, Robert F Kennedy Jr, delivered this message stressing that a healthy nation is a strong nation, "and a strong nation is the foundation of freedom". Lawyer RFK Jr, whose father Robert F Kennedy and uncle President John F Kennedy were both assassinated, has worked consistently towards improving US public health through a broad range of environmental and food production measures. He is also highly visible in the communications department, regularly speaking straight to camera with a contextualised message, as in this case.
