'Things will start to topple': Report outlines possible public health disaster under Trump

Raw Story  

A new report from NPR outlines just how quickly public health in the United States could unravel should anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. be confirmed to run the Health and Human Services Department. NPR spoke with several public health experts who feared that RFK Jr.'s appointment as the nation's top health official could "cause renewed, deadly epidemics of measles, whooping cough, meningitis, or even polio." Lawrence Gostin, a professor of public health law at Georgetown University, was even more blunt about the impact of Kennedy's appointment and declared, "He's going to make America sick again." Rather, he said, simply having a public health official casting doubt on the necessity of vaccinations could lead to a dangerous drop in vaccination rates and impact herd immunity.
