Summary
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken anti-vaccine activist, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Known for promoting debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Kennedy’s appointment has sparked concerns within federal health agencies, with some FDA staff reportedly considering resignations.
Kennedy, who previously ran for president before endorsing Trump, has hinted at plans to overhaul the FDA, ban fluoride in drinking water, and reduce ultra-processed foods.
His nomination marks a significant potential shift for U.S. public health policy.
RFK has said “there is no such thing as a safe and effective vaccine”.
You voted for this, America.

This administration is turning out to be one of the most experienced in history. I have extremely high hopes for these picks, the combined knowledge is unheard of, nobody could imagine all of these top individuals.
