RFK Jr., whose misinformation helped cause a measles outbreak that killed 83 people, says Trump promised him to “Control” “public health agencies”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters at an event on Monday Donald Trump has pledged to give him “control” of many federal health agencies in his second term, a move not unlike putting a mass murderer in the Justice Department.

Speaking via live broadcast, former third-party candidate speak“The key that I think—you know, that President Trump promised me—is control of the public health agencies, which is HHS and its affiliated agencies—CDC, FDA, NIH and some of the other agencies—and then the USDA, which is—you know, is the key to making America healthy. Because we have to get rid of seed oils and we have to get rid of pesticide-intensive agriculture.”

Among other things, it includes the agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid; oversees the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; At the same time, it helps prevent disease outbreaks and ensures food and drug safety. So the idea of ​​Kennedy “controlling” such a department is absolutely crazy, and if you’re wondering why, a quick reminder that Kennedy:
