President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) will use the high office to spread his controversial beliefs. This opinion was expressed by the authors of a New York Post article.
The material says that the appointment of Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, as head of the Department of Health “violates the first rule of medicine” and puts the health and lives of Americans at risk. The authors of the article mention a conversation with him in May 2023 and note that Kennedy Jr. proved to be an independent thinker and politician, but not in matters of medicine.
“When it came to this issue (health), his opinions were a dizzying spaghetti of what we can only call twisted conspiracy theories, and not just about vaccines… In fact, we thought he was crazy in many ways.” . – says the journalistic material.
Kennedy Jr., writes the New York Post, is confident that “pesticides, cell phones and ultrasounds” can provoke the development of Tourette syndrome and peanut allergies. At the same time, the new Health Secretary’s beliefs may contradict Trump’s goals of supporting energy and farmers, as he wants to ban many pesticides and fertilizers, the article’s authors note.
Trump nominated Kennedy Jr. as US Secretary of Health and Human Services on November 15.
For too long, Trump said, Americans have “suffered from an industrial complex of food and pharmaceutical companies that have resorted to deception and misinformation on public health issues.”
He assured that under Kennedy Jr., HHS will play an important role in ensuring that all citizens are protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and food additives, RBC recalls.
