President-elect Donald Trump announced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services Thursday via his Truth Social account.
“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 said about the former Independent presidential candidate, who recently told marketing industry podcaster Joe Polish that Trump’s diet “is really, like, bad” and characterized a lot of the food Trump eats as “poison.”
None of that seems to matter to Trump, who chose the brain worm victim, whale decapitator, and serial adulterer to lead public health. Kennedy's history of pushing pseudoscience and debunked claims about vaccines is long and distressing, and his ideas to “Make America Healthy Again” are dubious at best.
