The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.

You'd think a position like the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the entire nation would require some sort of medical or sociology training, but nope! Not in this timeline.

Well, the current one doesn't either:, Secretary Bacerra is a lawyer, the same as Robert F Kennedy Jr. The Secretary's job is to basically collect and summarize reports from their respective agencies for the President.
