Robert F Kennedy Jr confirmed as US health secretary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed by the US Senate as the nation's next health secretary, leading the Department of Health and Human Services with a $1.7 trillion budget and over 80,000 employees. The vote was 52-48, with all Republican votes in favor of Kennedy, except for Mitch McConnell who voted no, citing concerns about Kennedy's vaccine skepticism. Some Republicans have hailed Kennedy's "fresh perspective" but experts consider him "completely unqualified" for the job, with others warning that his views on vaccines are "dangerous" and "wrong".
