Doctors express concern over RFK Jr.'s potential appointment as health secretary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his anti-vaccine stance, is being considered for the role of Secretary of Health and Human Services by President-elect Donald Trump. This has raised significant concern among medical professionals. Doctors fear Kennedy's views could reverse progress in public health, particularly regarding vaccines. His past actions in Samoa, where he spread misinformation during a measles outbreak, have been linked to a decline in vaccination rates and numerous deaths. Health officials, including the CDC director, emphasize the importance of vaccines in preventing serious illnesses. They warn that Kennedy's potential appointment could lead to a public health crisis.
