U.S. president-elect, Donald Trumphas nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his next secretary to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday despite his anti-vaccine stances and for having given fuel to misinformation related to the origin of AIDS.
The next occupant of the White House has lamented that “for too long Americans have been crushed by the food industrial complex and pharmaceutical companies,” which he has accused of engaging in “deception, misinformation and misinformation” of society.
Thus, Trump has asserted that, with Kennedy Jr. at the helm, the HHS will serve to “help ensure that everyone is protected from chemicals, harmful chemicals, contaminants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming health crisis” in the United States.
“Mr. Kennedy will restore these agencies to the traditions of benchmark scientific research and beacons of transparency, to end the epidemic of chronic disease and make America great and healthy again,” Trump has riveted on his social networks.
