Robert F. Kennedy Jr. traveled to a Steak ‘n Shake in Florida this weekend for an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity to endorse the fast-food franchise’s new fries.

But many of his public statements and interviews have, instead, raised doubts about immunizations. Kennedy’s first month in office has been dominated with high-profile resignations, a measles outbreak and — supporters point out — successes with reshaping Americans’ diets by pressuring fast-food chains like Steak ‘n Shake to cook with beef tallow, instead of cooking oils.
