Donald Trump is nominating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The President-Elect released a statement saying Americans are being “crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies” who engage in “deception, misinformation, and disinformation” about public health. He said Kennedy, who has been an outspoken critic of vaccine mandates, will restore health agencies “to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency.”
Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy said he looks forward to learning more about Kennedy’s other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda. Across the aisle, Democratic Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts says Kennedy is dangerous, unqualified and unserious.
