Donald Trump has announced plans to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a significant role in a potential future administration, focusing on public health and food policy. Trump stated that Kennedy would have the freedom to pursue his agenda in these areas, including women's health and vaccine policies. This announcement has raised concerns among experts due to Kennedy's history of vaccine skepticism and controversial views on health issues. Trump emphasized that Kennedy would be allowed to 'go wild' in his approach to health and medicines, which has been interpreted as a signal of potential shifts in federal health agency priorities should Trump win the upcoming election.
