Washington-President Elek Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he plans to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. At the head of the Health and Social Welfare Department, another controversial candidate who can face the tough process of confirming the US Senate, taking into account his unscientific beliefs about this public health, including his attitude against vaccination.
“I am glad that I can announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As the Secretary for Health and Services of Human United States (HHS), “said Trump in social media. “For too long, the Americans were crushed by an industrial food sophisticated and pharmaceutical companies that were involved in fraud, disinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health.
“The safety and health of all Americans is the most important role of every administration, and HHS plays a big role in ensuring that everyone will be protected against harmful chemicals, pollution, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives that contributed to this overwhelming health crisis in this country. “
HHS receives around $ 116.8 billion in discretionary federal funds and about $ 1.7 trillion for compulsory expenses each year and has several well -known public health agencies, including the administration of strategic readiness and reaction or ASPR, centers of control and prevention of disease, centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the administration of abuse of mental health substances and services.
Kennedy conducted this year’s presidential election as an independent candidate, often repeating incorrect information about vaccines and disseminating other conspiracy theories about public health.
There is no experience in science, research or medicine. He graduated from Harvard University before he obtained a legal degree at the University of Virginia Law School.
He confessed to having criminal heroin In Rapid City, SD, in February 1984, before receiving two years of rehearsals that ended a year earlier. He applied to the Natural Resources Defense Council within this trial period.
Kennedy spent most of his career as an environment lawyer and published several books.
After completing his own presidential offer this year, Kennedy supported Trump and often conducted a campaign.
The nomination criticism began quickly after the message was published on Thursday, although it is expected that the far -right Republicans celebrate their nomination.
Lisa Gilbert, a co-chairman of the non-profit organism of Public Citizen, issued a written statement, saying: “Kennedy is a scientific, morally conspiracy conspiracy theoretician who threatens people’s lives if he constitutes power over health. The US Senate should unanimously reject this nomination. “
Republican senator Louisian Bill Cassidy, a ranking of a member of the Health Committee, Education, Work and Pensions, published a written statement that he is interested to learn more about Kennedy during the confirmation process.
“RFK JR. He was in favor of problems such as healthy food and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure, “wrote Cassidy. “I can’t wait to learn more about his other political positions and how they will support a conservative, pro -American program.”
Washington State Democratic Senator Patty Murray, a senior member of the Help Panel who will carry out the confirmation trial, wrote in a statement that Kennedy “cannot be more dangerous – this is a reason for deep care for every American.”
“It is not known how far a conspiracy theoretician, such as RFK Jr., can withdraw America in terms of public health, reproductive rights, research and innovation and many others,” wrote Murray. “The consequences here are not theoretical or superficial – access to healthcare, scope, research and public health are life or death issues for people – and Pandemia Covid was too recent, too painful reminder.”
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul congratulated Kennedy with social media, writing “Congratulations to @rberkennedyer of his nomination as the Secretary for Health and Social Welfare. Finally, someone who detoxifies the place after the Fauci era. Get ready for the freedom of healthcare and Maha! “
Democratic Governor of Colorado Jared Polis, a former member of the Congress who previously criticized Kennedy’s attitude Anty-Szczepińska as a way to restore polio and measles, He cheered his nomination In the long post of social media.
“I hope that it is based on the personal selection of vaccines, not prohibitions (which in my opinion is terrible, just like fines), but the most optimistic is taking Big Pharma and the corporate AG oligopoly to improve our health.”
The policy added another post About an hour later, writing that science “must remain the cornerstone of the health policy of our nation and supported by learning about vaccination, improves public health and security.”
“But if as a country we follow the study, we would also be much more concerned about the influence of pesticides on public health, AG policy on nutrition and lack of access to prescription drugs due to high drug prices,” added the policy. “That is why I am a serious shock in institutions such as FDA, which were barriers in reducing the cost of drugs and promoting healthy selection of food. That there is no doubt, I am vaccinations, just like my family. I will keep every HHS secretary at the same high level of protection and improvement of public health. “
