YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLast week Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as Donald Trump's Health Secretary - despite widespread concerns over his credentials and controversial views on vaccines.
The 71-year-old politician's appointment as head of Health and Human Services came after Trump outlined his mandate to 'Make America Healthy Again'.
Kennedy gained enough votes to secure a 52-48 majority during Thursday's pivotal vote.
Mr Kennedy's famous name and family tragedies have put him in the national spotlight since he was a child. He has earned a formidable following with his populist - and sometimes extreme - views on food, chemicals and vaccines.
His audience grew during the Covid-19 pandemic, when Mr Kennedy devoted much of his time to a nonprofit which sued vaccine makers and harnessed social media campaigns to erode trust in vaccines as well as the government agencies that promote them.
Kennedy will now oversees several high-profile agencies including the Food and Drug Administration and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
The former presidential candidate will now oversee government health agencies incorporating some 80,000 employees and a trillion-dollar budget.
He's the latest controversial member of Trump's cabinet to be appointed.
Former colleague of RFK Jr, Greg Palast, joins Matt Frei to assess what the Kennedy's appointment means for the American people.
