Trump appoints vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, as his secretary of health. This decision has drawn criticism, particularly from CNN's Jake Tapper, who remarked, “Well, America, I hope you like measles.” Kennedy has publicly questioned the effectiveness of vaccines, including the COVID vaccine. He previously suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, who stated that Kennedy would take bold actions regarding medicines in his administration. Critics, including the New York Post, have condemned the appointment, arguing it contradicts the medical principle of "do no harm." Kennedy's controversial views on vaccines and health have raised concerns about his leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services.
