washington - The incoming US president, Donald Trump, has announced his decision to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a controversial figure known for his anti-vaccine activism, as the head of the Department of Health. Trump emphasized the need to protect Americans from health crises caused by industrial food complexes and pharmaceutical companies.
In a statement, Trump expressed his concerns about the influence of the industrial food complex and pharmaceutical companies on public health. He highlighted the importance of ensuring the safety and health of all Americans as the primary responsibility of the government. Trump believes that the Department should play a significant role in safeguarding the population from harmful chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and chemical additives in food that have contributed to the country's overwhelming health crisis.
Prior to the presidential election, Trump had indicated his intention to involve Kennedy in public health matters. He praised Kennedy's expertise in the healthcare sector, although many experts are alarmed by Kennedy's past claims linking vaccines to autism, a theory that has been debunked.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democrat and a relative of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, ran for president as an independent candidate this year. In August, he publicly endorsed the Republican candidate, Trump.
