The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services raises alarms among scientific communities and public health advocates due to his history of vaccine skepticism and anti-science rhetoric. Kennedy, known for promoting pseudoscientific claims regarding vaccines and other health interventions, threatens to reshape the landscape of U.S. health policy. Analysts suggest his policies could favor healthy eating trends, potentially benefitting food stocks while fueling concerns about declining vaccination rates amid rising outbreaks of preventable diseases such as measles. Kennedy’s appointment could mark a significant ideological shift in U.S. public health governance.
