Trump nominates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead key U.S. health agencies

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated by Donald Trump to oversee key U.S. health agencies. Kennedy, known for his strong anti-vaccine stance, previously ran for president as a third-party candidate before supporting Trump in August. Kennedy has a history of spreading misinformation about vaccines and other health issues. His nomination could lead to significant changes in public health policy, particularly regarding vaccines, which experts warn may increase vaccine hesitancy. In addition to vaccine-related issues, Kennedy aims to remove fluoride from drinking water, oppose processed foods, and reform the National Institutes of Health by replacing its staff. His nomination requires Senate approval.
