Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, alongside other contentious figures like Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard. This nomination raises alarms among health professionals and former officials due to Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance. Critics argue that these selections reflect Trump's emphasis on loyalty over expertise and his desire for retribution against agencies that previously opposed him. The broader implications of these appointments underline ongoing tensions in public health policy and governance.
