  • President-elect Trump has finished making selections for the top public health roles in his incoming administration after he issued a flurry of nominations late Friday and tapped a leader for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Wednesday.

The article from AOL News discusses Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s controversial views on vaccines and public health, which have drawn significant attention and criticism. Kennedy, a long-shot Democratic presidential candidate, has been vocal about his skepticism regarding vaccines, particularly linking them to autism, a claim that has been widely discredited by scientific research. His statements have not only stirred controversy within the Democratic Party but also among public health experts who fear his rhetoric could undermine trust in vaccines at a critical time. The article highlights how his campaign has been supported by some who are disillusioned with mainstream politics, yet it also notes the backlash from health professionals and political figures who argue that his views are dangerous and unfounded. Furthermore, the piece touches on how Kennedy's family members have publicly distanced themselves from his views, emphasizing the divide between his personal beliefs and the broader scientific consensus.
