Donald Trump Nominates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. To Head The Department of Health and Human Services

RFK Jr. could be a big challenge to Big Pharma

On November 14, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump nominated former independent presidential candidate and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

After RFK Jr. dropped out of his race, he ended up endorsing Trump. The incoming president promised Kennedy to “go wild” with food and health policy in his administration, which led to speculation about Kennedy joining the Trump administration. 

“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 declared in a post 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.”

Kennedy will likely face pushback in the Senate due to his anti-Big Pharma stances. He has accused former National Institutes of Health official Anthony Fauci of allegedly conspiring with tech multi-billionaire Bill Gates and drug companies to sell COVID-19 vaccines. Kennedy believes that regulatory officials who collaborate with Big Pharma should ultimately be removed. 

Texas Senator John Cornyn declared Kennedy will be treated like any other nominee.

“I don’t have any preconceived notion about it,” Cornyn declared. Kennedy is one of Trump’s best nominations thus far. America is a sick and unfit nation thanks to the ruling class’s dietary and lifestyle prescriptions. 

With Kennedy at the helm of HHS, America will be in healthy hands. In fact, he may spark a renaissance in physical activity and clean dieting thanks to his contrarian advice on lifestyle matters.
