Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, has made controversial statements comparing childhood vaccination programs to 'Nazi death camps' and the abuse by the Catholic Church. Over the course of six years, RFK Jr. has accused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of fascism, likening their vaccine programs to a widespread conspiracy to harm children. He has suggested that researchers should be jailed and has criticized the CDC's vaccine division as a 'fascist enterprise.' These statements have raised concerns about the potential impact on public health policy and the progress made in vaccine science if he were to be approved for his position.
