RFK Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine campaigner, is set to lead a Trump administration's efforts to battle `childhood chronic disease’

The move would be a major victory for anti-vaccine campaigners, who have long claimed that vaccines are linked to a range of health problems, including autism.

RFK Jr. is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, a former US attorney general and presidential candidate. He is a vocal critic of vaccines, and has written a book claiming that they are linked to autism.

The Trump administration has been criticized for its anti-science stance on a range of issues, including climate change and vaccines. The appointment of RFK Jr. would be a further sign of the administration's willingness to disregard scientific evidence in favor of ideology.

The move has been met with criticism from the medical community

The American Academy of Pediatrics has said that there is no link between vaccines and autism, and that vaccines are safe and effective.

The World Health Organization has also said that there is no link between vaccines and autism, and that vaccines are an essential part of public health.

The move has also been met with criticism from Democrats

Democrats have accused the Trump administration of putting the health of children at risk by appointing RFK Jr. to this position.

Rep. Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said that the appointment of RFK Jr. is "a dangerous and irresponsible move."
