Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , known for his criticism of drug companies and health regulators, may soon have significant influence over U. S. health policy. Donald Trump's win, with Kennedy by his side, is seen as a mandate by supporters to shake up the public health system. Kennedy aims to tackle chronic diseases and reduce the influence of corporations in health decisions. However, his controversial views on vaccines worry public health experts. Some fear his involvement could lead to lower vaccination rates, impacting the nation's health.

Kennedy has promised to clean up regulatory agencies, focusing on empirical science and ending chronic diseases. His plans include changes in the FDA, reducing pesticide use, and reforming food subsidies. Despite his lack of medical or public health degrees, Kennedy has been vocal about his views, gaining support from some Republicans and critics of the current system.

The future of Kennedy's role is uncertain, but his ideas have sparked debate. Some experts warn that his influence could lead to a dismissal of proven scientific methods. Others see potential in his push for more innovation in the health care industry. The outcome will depend on how Kennedy's goals align with Trump's administration.
