Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is raising concerns with Senate Republicans about President-elect Joe Biden’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Gottlieb believes there is skepticism within the Republican caucus regarding RFK Jr.’s nomination. He warned that RFK Jr.’s views on childhood vaccines could be harmful to public health. Other former Trump administration officials, like Jerome Adams, have also expressed similar concerns about RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines. Despite strong Republican majority in the Senate, RFK Jr. would need bipartisan support for his nomination to be confirmed. Gottlieb and others worry about the potential impact of RFK Jr.’s leadership on public health.
