Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election, with prominent vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by his side, signals potential shifts in U.S. health policy that could weaken support for vaccines and public health agencies.

Kennedy, who endorsed Trump after ending his independent campaign, is expected to influence health policy significantly and has recommended vaccine skeptic Dr. Joseph Ladapo for a top health role.

Conservative proposals like Project 2025 aim to reduce the CDC’s authority on vaccine recommendations, potentially fueling vaccine hesitancy and leading to the resurgence of preventable diseases, experts warn.
