Trump Taps Vaccine Skeptic RFK Jr. for Health Secretary Role

President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former presidential candidate and known anti-vaccine activist, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. This controversial choice is expected to stir debate among public health experts, given Kennedy's history of promoting debunked vaccine claims. Trump's decision follows Kennedy's endorsement after dropping his own presidential bid, and reflects Trump's commitment to challenging the influence of pharmaceutical companies and the industrial food complex. Kennedy's confirmation may face hurdles due to his controversial views.
