Summary
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken anti-vaccine activist, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Known for promoting debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Kennedy’s appointment has sparked concerns within federal health agencies, with some FDA staff reportedly considering resignations.
Kennedy, who previously ran for president before endorsing Trump, has hinted at plans to overhaul the FDA, ban fluoride in drinking water, and reduce ultra-processed foods.
His nomination marks a significant potential shift for U.S. public health policy.
It’s so cute that you think there will be a democratic party in four years. Trump has literally vowed to persecute political opponents. That alone should’ve been a non-starter to voting for him, even if you agree with everything else he says. Forget about the long history of corruption, proven in a court of law, that he will now get away with, scot-free.
