Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to revisit federal vaccine recommendations, take fluoride out of public water and boost access to raw milk, among other goals.

The head of the largest organisation of public health professionals in the US says it will "absolutely oppose" RFK Jr's nomination as the next US health secretary.

On4, Donald Trump announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be the Health and Human Services secretary nominee. Here's his stance on vaccinations.

WASHINGTON — In the hours after President-elect Donald Trump announced that vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was his pick to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, mixed reactions began rolling in from the senators needed to support his confirmation.

Critics believe Donald Trump's nominee to lead Health and Human Services poses a threat to the achievements of a science-based public health order painstakingly built since World War II.

Although Trump signaled in the runup to the election that he planned to let the vaccine skeptic “go wild” on health, food and medicine, Kennedy’s official selection for the nation’s top health post sent shockwaves through the public health world,

Trump’s appointments would be dark comedy were it not a calculated effort to turn the United States into an autocracy—to place loyalty to a single individual above that shown to the Constitution.

Donald Trump's pick for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is a fan of raw milk, despite the FDA saying it can cause illness.

Trump chose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run Health and Human Services Department, which oversees NIH, CDC and FDA, among other agencies.

Pfizer's stock dropped 4.3 percent while Moderna's fell 3.1 percent and Novavax saw a 2.8 percent dip in its stock Friday morning.

Following the decision by the president-elect, many medical professionals were left aghast that a man who has previously been accused of amplifying conspiracy theories—most notably about the COVID vaccine—could potentially be in charge of the health of 350 million Americans from January if he is confirmed by the Senate.
