President-elect Trump plans to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, sparking both applause and alarm. If confirmed, RFK Jr. could reshape public health agencies and bring changes to vaccines and medicines. He aims to eliminate corporate influence, restructure agencies, and prioritize evidence-based science. Kennedy also plans to focus on food policy, FDA regulations, environmental issues, and addiction treatment. However, his controversial views on vaccines, alternative treatments, and abortion may face opposition during the confirmation process. Overall, RFK Jr.’s nomination carries the potential for significant impact on public health policies and practices.
