Doctor voices concerns over RFK Jr.'s nomination to lead health department

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. This decision has surprised many in the medical community, with some expressing strong concerns about Kennedy's views on vaccines and health policies. Kennedy, known for his skepticism about vaccines, claims he is not anti-vaccine but has made controversial statements that contradict established health guidelines. Critics, including Dr. Pat Basu, warn that his views could undermine public health initiatives and reverse progress made in vaccination. Colorado Governor Jared Polis supports Kennedy's nomination, stating that health agencies need reform. However, he emphasized his commitment to vaccines and medical science, highlighting the need for changes in policies affecting drug prices and nutrition.
