39% : "Advisers like Scott Atlas have demonstrated the significant influence they can wield without congressional oversight, raising fears of misinformation and harm," Trump's own surgeon general, Dr. Jerome Adams, wrote in an email, referring to Trump´s former COVID-19 pandemic advisor, a radiologist with no background in infectious disease, who advocated for the widely discredited herd immunity strategy.
39% : Adams said he believed it was unlikely that Kennedy could be appointed to lead a major health agency because he has no medical expertise, it would likely be difficult for him to pass a background check for a top secret clearance and he´d likely lack support in Congress - though Trump circumvented the background check system during his first administration and stocked his Cabinet with acting officials who had not received congressional approval.Kennedy´s anti-vaccine organization has a lawsuit pending against news organizations including The Associated Press, accusing them of violating antitrust laws by taking action to identify misinformation, including about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.
