RFK Jr. Begins HHS Confirmation Process as Trump Nominee Dave Weldon Faces Criticism for Anti-Vaccine Views
Dec 15, 2024, 01:40 PM
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to begin his confirmation process to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Donald Trump. This development comes as concerns mount regarding Trump's nominee for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dave Weldon, who has a history of promoting the debunked theory linking vaccines to autism. Weldon was proposed for the CDC position by Kennedy, raising alarms among public health experts about his suitability for the role. Critics argue that Weldon's appointment would endanger U.S. public health, particularly in light of Trump's previous statements indicating he would allow Kennedy significant leeway in reshaping healthcare policies.
