‘While presenting himself as a truth-teller and slayer of government corruption, he’s as slippery as Anthony Fauci’, the paper’s right-leaning editorial board warned. The right-leaning Wall Street Journal has attacked Donald Trump's prospective health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr as "dangerous to public health.”.
Once in office, the board warned, Kennedy could unleash a wave of legal action against pharmaceutical companies that would force them to cancel the development of new vaccines to the detriment of public safety. The op-ed comes ahead of Kennedy's confirmation hearing in the Senate Wednesday, when he is expected to face tough questions about his plans for the country.
"President Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary in return for his presidential endorsement. But Senate Republicans have an obligation to scrutinize his giant closet of business conflicts and dubious ideas," the editorial board warned.
"The risk is high that Mr. Kennedy will use his power and pulpit at HHS to enrich his trial-lawyer friends at the expense of public health and medical innovation,” it added. However, the Journal's op-ed focuses on R.F.K. Jr.'s past financial ties to Wisner Baum and Morgan & Morgan PA, two law firms that specialize in claims against vaccine makers demanding big damage amounts.
