Richard Hughes IV, Member of the Firm, presents "The New Politics of Public Health," hosted by Profs and Pints DC.

The re-election of President Donald Trump is expected to have major implications for health policy—especially when it comes to vaccines and matters of public health—with the selection of Robert F. Kennedy to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other like-minded appointees to head the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control.

Richard will examine President Trump’s picks for health agencies, the incoming administration’s expected actions and policies related to health, and the implications of it all for public health and vaccine access. He’ll look at the views of the newly appointed officials, the short-term and long-term impacts of their thinking and actions on public-health outcomes, and the legal and policy considerations that such developments would raise.
