Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who may soon oversee public health initiatives in the Trump administration, assured that he won’t eliminate vaccines, stressing that Americans should have informed choices. Kennedy, often labeled “anti-vaccine” for linking vaccines to autism, clarified his stance in an interview Wednesday, emphasizing that he supports access to safety and efficacy data, allowing people to make personal health decisions.
Kennedy, who may serve as a “health czar” or HHS Secretary, aims to tackle corruption and improve food safety standards. He expressed concerns over certain FDA nutrition practices and criticized ingredients in American products banned in Europe, attributing them to health issues in children. Though he questioned fluoridated water’s safety, he stated he wouldn’t force its removal but would advise water districts on legal responsibilities.
Kennedy described his partnership with Trump as a unifying force across party lines, prioritizing shared goals.
