Trump's nominees for health agency: A change in public health policy.
Reading
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen his health team. This team includes a former congressman, a surgeon, and a former talk-show host. These people will have important jobs in changing how the government protects people's health.
Many of Trump's choices have been on TV talking about health. For example, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the pick for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, had a talk show for many years. Some of the people chosen have criticized things like wearing masks and getting booster shots for young people.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who will lead the Department of Health and Human Services, wants to change how these health agencies work. He has said that no vaccines are safe, even though vaccines have saved many lives over the years.
Trump's choice to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Marty Makary, agrees with Kennedy on some things. They both think that doctors give out too many drugs and that food should not have pesticides.
It may be difficult for Makary and Kennedy to change FDA rules. The FDA has many rules about removing medicines from the market, and these rules are based on laws passed by Congress. These laws are not easy to change.
