Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed by the US Senate as Secretary of Health and Human Services with a 52 to 48 vote, largely divided along party lines. His nomination provoked contentious debate, notably from Democrats who accused Republicans of bowing to party pressure despite an anti-vaccine reputation. Kennedy, while asserting his commitment to safe vaccinations and public health, has a long history of leading anti-vaccine efforts. His agenda includes improving nutrition and health, but many are alarmed by his potential influence in a key health position.
Kennedy has made it very clear that he will support safe vaccinations and just wants to see that the research on them is done and done well.
...most Republicans would have voted against Kennedy... Republicans are being strong-armed by Donald Trump and will end up holding their nose and voting to confirm.
As the top health official for the Trump administration, Kennedy says he will focus on improving nutrition and reducing chronic diseases.
His campaign slogan 'Make America Healthy Again' reflects a controversial agenda amidst his long-standing anti-vaccine stance.
