RFK Jr Tapped by Trump: What This Means for the War on Drugs in America
Donald Trump has announced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if he assumes office in 2025.
RFK Jr., an environmental lawyer and well-known vaccine skeptic, would oversee the U.S. federal health agencies, including those responsible for vaccine and pharmaceutical approvals.
The appointment has sparked significant controversy due to Kennedy’s lack of medical qualifications and his promotion of conspiracy theories.
While Trump praised Kennedy’s commitment to tackling America’s drug epidemic, critics point out potential challenges with Senate confirmation, particularly concerning his contentious health views and public stances.
