Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, a known vaccine skeptic, has pledged to address America's health crisis and promote Trump's health agenda. Health experts have criticized Kennedy's qualifications, calling him "completely unqualified" for the role. His past claims about vaccines and COVID-19 have raised concerns among public health officials. Kennedy's nomination is not yet confirmed and will require Senate approval. If confirmed, he would oversee major health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.
