President-elect Donald Trump said he’s tapping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services, a move that would elevate a prominent vaccine skeptic and pharmaceutical industry critic to a top role on federal health policy.

Washington — President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, according to three sources familiar with the selection. Kennedy has a long record of criticizing vaccines, including spreading misleading claims about their safety.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a prominent antivaccine activist and former independent presidential candidate, has been nominated to lead HHS, where he would oversee significant aspects of the nation’s public health policy.
