RFK Jr.'s HHS Nomination Sparks Vaccine Debate and Market Concerns

The appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services has raised concerns among medical professionals due to his history of vaccine skepticism. Experts worry that his influence could exacerbate vaccine hesitancy, particularly among parents, potentially leading to lower vaccination rates and increased outbreaks of diseases like measles and whooping cough. Kennedy's past claims, including those linking vaccines to autism and criticizing COVID-19 vaccines, have been widely discredited by health authorities. Doctors emphasize the need for continued education to counteract potential misinformation.
