Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head up the Department of Health and Human Services, one of the most deeply entrenched bureaucracies of the federal government. He is a maverick when it comes to health and is a vaccine skeptic who spoke out against the Covid-19 vaccines. He also believes the degradation of the American food system and quality of foods that Americans eat are harming their health. Some might even call him a “health nut.”
“I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). 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. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!” Trump announced on TruthSocial.com
Kennedy ran for president but came to appreciate Trump and ultimately dropped from contention and backed Trump’s campaign, although RFK Jr.’s name remained on the ballots of some states, such as Alaska.
Kennedy is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated while running for president. He is the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated while in office on Nov. 22, 1963 in Parkland, Texas. RFK Jr. is a former Democrat who is from a family of Democrat royalty.
