Trump’s Anti-Vaccine Health Secretary Nomination Sparks Outrage and Concerns
Donald Trump’s pick for US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has sparked outrage and concerns due to his anti-vaccine views.** Kennedy has a history of spreading misinformation on vaccines and questioning the science of HIV and Aids. Global health experts fear his nomination could cause deaths and have profound consequences around the world. Kennedy’s stance on vaccination is being watched warily, as routine vaccination coverage has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels and lower immunisation rates have led to a 20% annual increase in measles cases. Kennedy’s influence could swing either way, and the impact of a Trump administration on global health will be broader than any policies pursued by Kennedy alone.
