Trump Says Vaccine Skeptic RFK Jr. Would Be In Charge Of 'Women's Health'

"Donald Trump said Thursday vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in charge of “women’s health” if the former president is reelected to the White House.

“He’s gonna work on health and women’s health and all of the different reasons,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Nevada. “Because we’re not really a wealthy or a healthy country … I told Bobby, ‘I want you to take care of health, I want you to look at the food and the food supply and what we put on the food.’”

The comments reflect Kennedy’s growing role in a potential administration and his rising standing in the Trump orbit after he dropped his independent bid for the presidency and endorsed his onetime competitor. But calls for a senior position have troubled health advocates, who point to Kennedy’s long history as a skeptic of widely accepted science surrounding vaccines. Those concerns grew this week after the co-chair of the team planning Trump’s potential transition said Kennedy had persuaded him in a 2.5-hour meeting that vaccines caused autism, a widely debunked stance."
