Kennedy aims to shift health priorities from infectious diseases to chronic conditions, reflecting a belief that the public health focus needs to evolve toward obesity and lifestyle diseases.
Despite lack of governmental experience, Kennedy plans to fire FDA and NIH staff, with the intent of reorienting health research and policies in line with his controversial views.
Kennedy's nomination has generated mixed responses: while some Democrats find common ground with him on food issues, others express concern over his vaccine skepticism and its implications.
Leading a $1.7 trillion agency, Kennedy would oversee critical health care programs, raising questions about the future of Medicare, Medicaid, and health regulations.
