President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!” Trump said in an X post.
Kennedy, a former independent presidential candidate, endorsed Trump after suspending his campaign earlier this year.
