Robert F Kennedy Jr has been confirmed as Donald Trump’s health secretary after winning the support of the doctors in the Senate.
Mr Kennedy, a vaccine sceptic who has pledged to tackle chronic disease, was confirmed by 52 votes to 48 after overcoming resistance from the medical establishment and members of Congress with promises to limit his role in immunisation policy.
In doing so, he won the votes of the four medical physicians in the Senate, all of whom are Republicans.
The only Republican to vote against Mr Kennedy was Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky senator and former GOP leader, who survived polio as a child.
Ahead of the vote, Mr McConnell issued a damning statement in which he accused Mr Kennedy of “trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories”.
“Individuals, parents and families have a right to push for a healthier nation and demand the best possible scientific guidance on preventing and treating illness,” it read.
“But a record of trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories and eroding trust in public health institutions does not entitle Mr Kennedy to lead these important efforts.”
The senator added that he could not “condone the re-litigation of proven cures”.
The rest of the GOP, however, has embraced Mr Kennedy’s focus on chronic diseases such as obesity, including those who hold medical qualifications.
Senator Roger Marshall, a former obstetrician, said the confirmation of Mr Kennedy “marks a great day” for American children.
Mr Marshall, a co-founder of the Make America Healthy Again (Maha) caucus fronted by Mr Kennedy, added: “With 60 per cent of Americans currently battling chronic diseases, we desperately need a radical shift toward prevention rather than focusing on treatment alone.”
