President-elect Donald Trump has nominated vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary, positioning him to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which oversees public health policy, food safety, and welfare programs. Known for questioning vaccine safety, Kennedy’s selection has drawn criticism, especially given his controversial health views.
Other nominations include former Congressman Doug Collins for Veterans’ Affairs and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum for Interior Secretary. Notably, Trump tapped Elon Musk to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency aimed at streamlining federal operations.
Trump’s administration picks have sparked varied reactions, with some questioning appointments like Matt Gaetz as Attorney General amid ethical concerns.
