Vaccine sceptic expected to hold sway over health policy and top appointments
Pharmaceutical executives and public health experts have warned that Robert F Kennedy Jr’s influence over Donald Trump could have a “chilling” impact on US vaccine research and provision. Kennedy, a vaccine sceptic, is expected to hold formidable sway in Trump’s second administration, including installing doubters of Covid-19 jabs in top federal roles and launching a sweeping review of regulation.
Bhattacharya, who opposed some vaccine rollouts, told the Financial Times that he would be open to serving under Trump, possibly as head of the National Institutes of Health, but had not been contacted by the president-elect’s transition team. “I think there’s too much concentration of power in the hands of too few people: there should not be another Tony Fauci, there should be term limits on institute directors,” he said, referring to the former infectious disease chief.
