Trump selects RFK Jr. as health chief raising concerns over vaccination policies

President-elect Donald Trump has officially selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the new head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This decision has raised concerns among health experts about its potential impact on vaccination rates and public health policies. Kennedy has expressed intentions to address issues like corporate influence in health agencies and to improve food safety. However, he has a history of promoting anti-vaccine views, which some experts fear could undermine vaccination efforts in the U.S. In addition to his controversial stance on vaccines, Kennedy plans to advocate for the removal of fluoride from drinking water and to regulate chemicals in food. While some of his food policy ideas have received support, skepticism remains about his ability to implement effective public health measures.
