Kennedy to Shape Health Policy in Trump Administration

News summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic and conspiracy theorist, is expected to play a significant role in President-elect Donald Trump's administration, focusing on health and food safety. After suspending his own presidential campaign, Kennedy endorsed Trump and has been tasked with addressing perceived corruption within agencies like the FDA and CDC and potentially reshaping health policy. Critics warn that Kennedy's influence may undermine scientific standards and exacerbate public health issues, such as declining vaccination rates and rising preventable diseases. Despite lacking a scientific background, Kennedy aims to promote alternative health practices and deregulate certain medical treatments, emphasizing informed public choices in vaccination. Trump's administration could see Kennedy in a White House health advisory role, sidestepping Senate confirmation for more formal positions.
