President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine-skeptic known for promoting conspiracy theories, as his nominee for Health Secretary. Trump criticized the food and pharmaceutical industries for misinformation affecting public health and aims to restore transparency and scientific excellence in health agencies. Kennedy, 70, who has no scientific training, previously ran as an independent presidential candidate before joining Trump’s campaign. His appointment is pending Senate confirmation, which is expected to be favorable given the Republican majority.
