New York Post criticizes Trump's HHS pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over controversial views

The New York Post criticized President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services, joking about an "outbreak" of brain-eating worms at Mar-a-Lago. Kennedy previously claimed a worm caused his cognitive issues, later identified as a parasitic infection. The editorial highlighted Kennedy's controversial views, including conspiracy theories about vaccines and health issues. The Post argued that appointing him violates the medical principle of "do no harm," suggesting he could negatively impact public health. Kennedy has questioned vaccine safety and promoted discredited theories linking vaccines to autism. The Post expressed concern that his beliefs could lead to harmful consequences for public health.
