Description

Donald Trump has tapped vaccine-sceptic Robert F Kennedy Jr to be US Secretary of Health.  

The nomination has prompted widespread criticisms, though Trump says Kennedy “will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”  

US correspondent Dan Mitchinson tells Heather du Plessis-Allan Kennedy’s signature cause is to fight chronic disease, but he is also urging the removal of fluoride from water. 

Meanwhile, X (formerly Twitter) has seen its largest user exodus since Elon Musk took over.
