If confirmed, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will oversee agencies that regulate food and medicine, conduct medical research, guard against infectious disease and administer Medicare and Medicaid. His high-profile vaccine skepticism and unorthodox views on public health have drawn criticism and warnings from health professionals and scientists.
During the confirmation process, he sought to distance himself from past remarks questioning the safety of vaccines and ultimately won enough support from Republicans to advance to a full Senate vote.
