Trump Pledges Major Health Role for Kennedy

Former President Donald Trump has indicated that if he wins the upcoming election, vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have a significant role in healthcare, possibly overseeing agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance and criticism of pharmaceutical companies, claims Trump has promised him control over major public health agencies. Vice President Kamala Harris has criticized this potential appointment, highlighting Kennedy's promotion of 'junk science' and conspiracy theories. Trump's suggestion has sparked controversy, with Harris dismissing the idea of Kennedy overseeing women's health. This development comes amidst a campaign where Harris has outpaced Trump in fundraising, utilizing a larger donor base. Critics express concerns about the impact Kennedy's influence could have on public health policies, given his controversial views.
