Trump's selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary signals a move to appoint a prominent vaccine skeptic to oversee health agencies, alarming many public health experts.
Kennedy's proposals, under his Make America Healthy Again campaign, have raised concerns among experts, particularly regarding their basis in conspiracy theories and misinformation about food and vaccination.
Trump emphasized the role of Kennedy's leadership in protecting Americans from harmful substances, stating that under Kennedy, HHS would prioritize safeguarding public health against industrial and pharmaceutical influences.
Kennedy's ideas involve significant changes in health agency operations, such as purging staff and reallocating NIH funds, which highlight a shift towards alternative health care research amidst fervent skepticism.
