The sparrows are already whistling from the rooftops, now it’s solved. Future US President Donald Trump nominates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (70), an anti-vaccination activist, as Minister of Health.
Trump declared during the election campaign that he would task ‘the best minds’, including Kennedy, to improve children’s health – and already hinted at Kennedy’s appointment.
“For too long, Americans have been crushed by the food industrial complex and drug companies who have engaged in deceit, disinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health,” Trump explained his decision via text message service X (formerly Twitter).
The safety and health of all Americans is the most important responsibility of any government, and the Department of Health and Human Services will play an important role in “ensuring that everyone is protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and food additives that contribute to climate change. have contributed to the overwhelming health crisis in this country,” the future president continued.
Kennedy was attached to conspiracy theories about health – he repeatedly claimed that the corona vaccination was a “military project”:
Trump makes big promises
His goal is to halve the number of cancer cases, depression and suicides among children within four years, as he proclaimed during the election campaign. However, Trump did not say at the time how this would be achieved.
Kennedy withdrew in favor of Trump
Kennedy initially entered the presidential elections as an independent candidate, but then withdrew his already hopeless candidacy and switched to the Trump camp, which could otherwise have cost him valuable votes.
He comes from the prominent Kennedy family and was a Democrat for decades – but then increasingly distanced himself from the party. The declared opponent of vaccination is often criticized not only by Democrats, but also by members of his family for spreading conspiracy theories and contacts with right-wing extremist politicians.
Trump simply wants to bypass the Senate
After his election victory last week, Trump immediately began assembling his future government team and quickly announced several personnel decisions. He wants, among other things, to put TV presenter Pete Hegseth at the head of the Ministry of Defense and the ultra-radical former congressman Matt Gaetz should become Minister of Justice. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is expected to take over the reins of the Department of Homeland Security.
Ministerial positions usually require confirmation by the Senate. However, Trump has argued for bypassing this with an exception.
