Summary
Donald Trump plans to give vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a major health role in his second term as president. Health experts are concerned that this could lead to lower vaccination rates, increases in preventable diseases, and greater distrust in federal health agencies. Kennedy's track record as a vaccine skeptic and conspiracy theorist raises alarm bells in the health community, as his influence could have severe consequences for patients, drugmakers, and public health overall.
