Trump appoints vaccine sceptic RFK Jr as health secretary

He has no medical qualifications and has been a prolific spreader of health misinformation, but the anti-vaccine campaigner Robert F. Kennedy Jr ran a presidential campaign that garnered support from hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Now US President-Elect Donald Trump has nominated him to take charge of the nation's health, causing widespread alarm amongst doctors and a sell-off of pharmaceutical stocks.

This dude from Florida made no sense and danced around the question. I guess this is what passes for an intellectual conversation.

[andreaerling]

RFK in charge of health - absolutely brilliant.
The fact that mainstream media is hyperventilating about this appointment says it all.
I hope that RFK will be safe.

[BradleyStephens-bd]

RFK Jr has an open mind and cares about people's health. Unlike the prostitutes for big business who are attacking him.

[Thelimey]

What an absolute disgrace this reporting is shameful.. RFK is ahead of his time and all you berks that call him the names will be proven to be the fools

[tracykimber]

Why is it that all these conspiracy theories end up with truth? I want clean food. I am sick Of being sick having auto immune diseases caused by the very thing that I have to eat. Over it! Safe food now! Safe med’s now!

My wife is currently suffering multiple complex health issues, all side effects of the AZ jab. Literally starting 3 days after she had it.

It's possible he hasn't spread as much medical misinformation as Channel 4 has.

[westtxmutt]

When MSM hates it.... you know it's good 😂

[kristinparish]

Yeah a catastrophic event for these drug and poison pushers.

[JMRM]

Bullsh&t headline. Nonsense. He's not a conspiracy theorist. You're a dreadful channel.

[BeatrizCornejo-mx]

Conspiracy? You are😢 misinforming ! Go RFK jr

[LuciannaG]

Diphtheria, polio, measles, and rubella will be rife. The children in America will pass in their thousands.
Diphtheria... ffs. This is going to get really bad.

[Darren-zg]

Plenty have died and you guys are not reporting the truth shame on you

[MaxTheLazyCat]

Channel 4 needs to disable comments, its just full of bots

[JimmyZvenus]

He's not an anti vaxxer. Channel 4 is a joke

[kalaspera]

All his theories are real read the reports.

[polkadolt]

Don’t expect anything better from Channel 4

[Kwippy]

America already has the worst infant mortality rate among rich developed nations. America is unique among developed nations in having a decreasing average life expectancy. Measles and whooping cough are already making a comeback in America. With RFK, perhaps diphtheria and polio will also make a comeback.

[PhilipJackson]

4:24 - how to be Orwellian? Call something that’s fact Orwellian…I can’t even list all the incredibly anti-science things RFK jr has done, but the fact he incited a measles outbreak in Samoa ALONE is disqualifying.
