Health Experts Warn of RFK Jr.’s ‘Dangerous’ Influence on Trump

Health experts are concerned about the potential influence Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could have on former President Trump's public health policies if Trump were to win a second term. Kennedy, who recently suspended his independent presidential campaign to support Trump, was mentioned as a possible significant figure in Trump's administration. Although Trump hasn’t specified Kennedy’s role, he appointed him to his presidential transition team and hinted at a major position for him. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., has even suggested Kennedy could take over and “blow up” a government agency. Experts like Robert Murphy from Northwestern University worry that Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance and lack of scientific background, could create chaos in public health agencies like the CDC or NIH.
