Ex-FDA Chief Warns RFK Jr.'s Health Plans Could Endanger Lives

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is actively opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing concerns over RFK Jr.'s vaccine skepticism and potential public health risks. Gottlieb has been discussing these issues with Senate Republicans, who hold a majority, and warns that RFK Jr.'s policies could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases. The nomination faces challenges from senators with agricultural and anti-abortion interests, and Gottlieb doubts Congress will impose restrictions on HHS funding to control RFK Jr.'s actions.

RFK Jr.'s Influence on GOP, Vaccines, and Public Health Policy

Donald Trump's transition team is working to address concerns from the anti-abortion wing of the Republican Party regarding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy's past support for abortion access has raised alarms among GOP senators and anti-abortion leaders, who are seeking assurances that the administration will maintain anti-abortion policies. Trump's team plans to appoint anti-abortion advocates to other key health positions to mitigate these concerns, while Kennedy is expected to assure senators of his alignment with Trump's stance on leaving abortion policy to the states.

Progressive groups are opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services despite sharing some of his policy goals, due to his anti-vaccine views and alliance with Trump. Critics argue that Kennedy's stance on vaccines and lack of qualifications make him unsuitable for the role, fearing he could harm public health and fail to advance progressive agendas. While some see potential for collaboration, most activists and Democratic senators remain skeptical of his ability to navigate the HHS bureaucracy and achieve shared objectives.
