Before choosing by President Donald Trump to lead the Ministry of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Junior described the vaccines against Koronovi as a “crime against humanity”. Children’s Health Defense, which was led by 2023, connected the vaccines with autism, while arguing that they had never been properly tested.

Concerning abortions, Kennedy had written in May that she trusts women to make their own decisions alone, but added that the pregnancy process should not be interrupted until the baby can survive out of uterus.

But now, shortly before his appearance before the Senate who will approve his appointment as Minister of Health, his views seem to have changed and to have been more adapted to those of politicians who are called upon to ‘win’ to assign the portfolio of the Ministry of Health.

Following a meeting with Kennedy in December, Republican Senator Markwwin Malin said Robert Kennedy “supports 100% of the polio vaccine”.

Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina also argued that Kennedy “is well aware of the traditional Republican positions within the policies in favor of life, and estimates that he will continue this tradition”.

Senator Josh Hollyy of Misouri went a step further and said in a post that Kennedy “said that all his subordinates at the health ministry would be in favor of life”, the condition that conservatives use for abortions.

Kennedy, a lawyer specializing in environmental law and without any background to health services or medicine, has emerged as one of the strongest voices of the anti -vaccination movement during the pandemic. But he has lately mitigated his rhetoric and has taken back on some of his previous statements, pointing out in interviews that “We are not going to deprive access to vaccines to anyone“

Last year, he also adopted a milder position in abortion. Initially he supported the abortions still for the full -term pregnancies. A few days later, he clarified on the social networking site X that “abortion should be legal up to a certain number of weeks and from there onwards.”

These views make it doubtful that his appointment ratification, as prominent Republicans have questioned his positions. Republican Bill Cassidi from Louisiana, who is also a doctor in the profession, has stated that Kennedy is “wrong” for the vaccines, while the former Republican leader Mitch Mitsconel, who had passed Poliova, had passed by Polio. “Attempts to undermine public confidence in proven therapies are not merely deprived of arguments – they are dangerous.”

But his other positions have been challenged, such as his intention to prohibit the use of fluoride in public water reserves, his view in favor of eating fresh milk, despite the potential risks to health, and so on.

For these reasons, the Health Protection Committee gathered More than 15,000 signatures of doctors opposed In the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Junior for the position of Minister of Health.

“His appointment is an immediate threat to the safety of our patients and the public in general,” the letter said. “As doctors, we are outraged by this appointment and call on the Senate to act immediately,” adds doctors who sign the letter.

It is noted that in order to validate Kennedy’s appointment at the helm of the Ministry of Health, the OK should receive OK from two Senate committees, with the relevant hearings planned On 29 and 30 January respectively. Specifically, tomorrow Kennedy’s hearing will be heard by the Senate Finance Committee and the tomorrow will be before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. If both committees approve its appointment, it should then receive the approval of the majority in the plenary session, where Republicans have a six -seater advantage.
