Donald Trump Appoints Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary
Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health. Kennedy, known for his skepticism towards vaccines and his promotion of debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, had briefly run as an independent presidential candidate this year before withdrawing in August. In exchange for his support, he secured a promise from Trump for a key role in the administration. Trump praised Kennedy in his victory speech on November 6, stating, ‘He’s going to make America healthy again.’
