Recently, Donald Trump has selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. This is an exciting pick for Trump, considering that RFK Jr dropped out of his election to endorse Donald Trump for president.

This is also reported to be a controversial pick as well, considering that RFK Jr.’s history of claiming that vaccines cause autism. This would also cause many health experts to be concerned about this pick due to Donald Trump’s statements during the campaign suggesting that RFK Jr. would have unrestricted control of the health and food policy in his administration.

“The pick, which will roil many public health experts, comes after Trump promised to let Kennedy “go wild” with health and food policy in his administration after Kennedy dropped his presidential bid to endorse the now-president-elect.”

As stated in POLITICO. Donald Trump also sees this as a political gain for him, considering his massive electoral win for him and the Republican Party. He also sees this as a beneficial win for the American people as well.

“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 stated on X.

“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.”

Recently, RFK Jr. publicly stated that he doesn’t intend to take vaccines from anyone.
