RFK Jr.'s Controversial Team Raises Concerns Across Communities

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President-elect Donald Trump, is involving individuals with ties to the anti-vaccine movement in his transition team. Despite publicly distancing himself from vaccine denial, Kennedy's reliance on these advisers raises concerns about their influence on public health policy. The transition process, marked by a lack of federal oversight and transparency, has sparked criticism over potential conflicts of interest and the prioritization of vaccine skepticism in candidate vetting.
