Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis praised President-elect Trump for nominating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
In a lengthy social media post on Thursday, Polis praised Kennedy for helping Colorado „defeat vaccine mandates“ in 2019 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
„He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA“, he wrote.
„I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health“, Polis said.
Trump announced his nomination of RFK Jr. for HHS secretary Thursday afternoon, igniting a firestorm of praise and critique.
In his announcement, Trump promised that, with Kennedy leading the HHS, the agency would be restored as the „Gold Standard Scientific Research.“
„For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health“, Trump wrote.
