President Donald Trump has announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will serve as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Trump highlighted a significant increase in childhood autism rates, noting that 25 years ago the rate was one in 10,000 children, whereas today it stands at one in 36 children. He also mentioned a 25% increase in childhood cancer. Trump expressed concern over these rises and stated that he and Kennedy Jr. intend to investigate the issue. Kennedy Jr. is expected to face opposition in the Senate, but Trump believes he should be part of his cabinet. Kennedy Jr. has been endorsed by some for his potential to address health issues, with Dr. Angus Dalgleish praising the work of Kennedy's organization, the Childhood Health Defense.
