Trump's Health Plans Stir Controversy with RFK Jr. Appointment

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will play a significant role in shaping public health policies under Trump's new administration.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to oversee public health, sparking debate over his controversial views on vaccines and fluoride.
Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance, claims he will not remove vaccines but insists on informed choice and transparency in vaccine safety studies.
The new administration plans to advise U.S. water systems to remove fluoride, citing health concerns, a move that contradicts major public health organizations' recommendations.
Kennedy's role is expected to include addressing chronic disease, nutrition, and potential reforms in federal health agencies, despite his lack of formal medical or public health credentials.
Public health experts express concern over Kennedy's influence, highlighting a growing distrust in health institutions and the potential impact on American health policies.
