Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated by President Donald Trump for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services, is reportedly advocating for his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, to be appointed as the deputy director of the CIA. This push is motivated by RFK Jr.'s belief that the CIA was involved in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. Over 75 Nobel laureates have expressed opposition to Kennedy's potential role at HHS, citing concerns about the impact on public health and research. Meanwhile, Kennedy's tenure at HHS could lead to significant changes in healthcare policy, including ending taxpayer-funded junk food in food stamps, promoting domestic medicine production, ensuring vaccines are fully tested before release, and addressing concerns about chemicals in food.
