President-elect Donald Trump’s candidates for federal health agencies have promoted policies and goals that put them at odds with one another.

The picks hold different views on matters such as limits on abortion, the safety of childhood vaccines, the covid-19 response, and the use of weight-loss medications.

The divide pits Trump picks who adhere to more traditional and orthodox science against those who have claimed vaccines are linked with autism.

Most of Trump ’s picks share the view that federal health agencies bungled the pandemic response.

Kennedy said in a 2021 Louisiana House oversight meeting that the covid vaccine was the “deadliest” ever made.

Federal health officials say the vaccines have saved millions of lives around the globe and offer important protection.
