Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Outlines Health Policy Plans

Donald Trump plans to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a significant role in public health, raising concerns among experts regarding Kennedy's history of promoting vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories. Public health expert Dr. Paul Offit expressed alarm over Kennedy's potential influence, emphasizing the dangers of having a figure who denies scientific advancements in health matters. Kennedy, who previously campaigned on the platform 'Make America Healthy Again', has claimed he won't ban vaccines but advocates for individuals to have the choice regarding their use, despite scientific consensus on their safety and efficacy. His positions extend to fluoride in drinking water, which he controversially claims lowers IQ, contradicting decades of research supporting its safety. With Republicans poised to control health agencies and reshape the National Institutes of Health, Kennedy's proposed policies could significantly impact public health in the U.S. and beyond.
