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, a vaccine skeptic, has made controversial claims about vaccines and fluoride, which have been widely disputed by health organizations. Dr. Pat Basu criticized Kennedy's nomination, stating that his views could undermine public health progress and endanger vulnerable populations. Colorado Governor Jared Polis expressed support for Kennedy's appointment, agreeing that health agencies need reform. However, he clarified his stance by affirming his support for vaccines and medical science.
