Kennedy is the country's most well-known anti-vaccine activist, and could soon lead be Trump's top health official.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services, will tell senators this week that he is not “anti-vaccine or anti-industry.”

RFK Jr. played a lead role in building an case against Merck's HPV vaccine and could profit from the lawsuit alleging fraud, even if confirmed as health secretary.

Some GOP senators want public commitments from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before deciding whether to support him as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, signaling that President Donald Trump’s pick will have to win over uncertain Republicans in order to secure the job.
