Concerns anti-vaccine pick for US health secretary could pursue ‘anti-science positions’ on life-saving interventions
Summary
The nomination of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. health secretary under Donald Trump has alarmed global health experts, who fear it could undermine vaccination efforts and public health globally.
Kennedy has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation, which critics warn could reduce immunization rates, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.
His plans to reform U.S. health agencies and tackle “corruption” could disrupt institutions like the FDA, while Trump’s broader policies may include withdrawing from the WHO and reinstating abortion funding bans.
Concerns also extend to potential trade wars affecting medicine supplies.

Well at least you won't have to waste money on expensive bombs and stuff. Just give the money to your oligarchs and send your troops off to breath on the enemy.
More or less disastrous than locking everyone in their homes for two years, stunting an entire generation's early childhood development, and decimating the credibility of the medical industry. Which came, of course, after getting an entire other generation hooked on opioids.
