Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist, appears to be angling for a Cabinet role. He has advocated dismantling core functions of federal health agencies.
Kennedy, also an attorney, practiced environmental law and founded Childrenβs Health Defense, which is now the most well-funded anti-vaccine organization in the country.
During the pandemic, he became the purveyor of wild conspiracy theories, often aimed at public health officials in the agencies he now seeks to lead. Kennedy has criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for Covidβs death toll and said Fauci should be prosecuted if he committed a crime. He has also said the attorney general should force editors of medical journals to publish retracted studies.
Trump will be investigating Big Pharma for the “stunning rise” in autism, infertility, allergies, & child illness.
“If Big Pharma defrauds American patients & taxpayers or puts profits above people, they must be held accountable.”
