Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken vaccine critic, as the next US Health Secretary. Trump claims Kennedy will tackle the ‘epidemic of chronic diseases’ and improve child health, including halving cancer and suicide rates among children in four years. Kennedy, who has promoted various conspiracy theories, was originally an independent presidential candidate before aligning with Trump. His controversial views on vaccines and public health have drawn criticism from both Democrats and his own family. Trump is rapidly assembling his administration, with other polarizing figures in key roles.
