The potential appointment of vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. Health and Human Services secretary has sparked widespread concern among medical professionals. Doctors are speaking out against his confirmation, citing the dangers of having a prominent anti-vaxxer at the helm of the nation's health policy. With the Committee to Protect Health Care gathering over 15,000 signatures in opposition, the medical community is emphasizing the importance of evidence-based public health decisions and expressing worries about the impact of Mr. Kennedy's stance on vaccination and healthcare policy, which could undermine trust in the healthcare system and compromise population health management.
