The transition team for Donald Trump has been engulfed in controversy over vaccine skepticism, heavily influenced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Statements from the team co-chair suggest that RFK Jr. advocates for the removal of vaccines from the market and has convinced some within the team to adopt anti-vaccination views. During media appearances, Trump’s transition officials have echoed claims that vaccines are unsafe, provoking heated discussions about public health. Critics argue that this stance could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases, as confidence in vaccines declines among certain Republican circles. While Trump’s campaign has denied that RFK Jr. would hold a significant health position if he were to win, the messaging around vaccine skepticism is gaining traction within the team.
