President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and investigate potential links between childhood vaccines and autism.
Trump defended Kennedy's investigation into vaccine-autism links, despite evidence showing no such connection during a Sunday Morning interview.
Kennedy, founder of Children's Health Defense, reorganized federal health agencies like the CDC and FDA and is known for criticizing vaccines and public health policies.
The appointment of Kennedy has alarmed the medical and scientific communities, with 77 Nobel laureates urging the Senate to oppose his confirmation due to his lack of credentials and hostile attitude toward mainstream medicine.
Kennedy has threatened to expose alleged secrets and lies within the FDA and has called for the preservation of records and the departure of corrupt system employees.

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that his pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will look into potential links between childhood vaccines and autism. During an Dec. 8 interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" with Kristen Welker, characterized as "an absolute masterclass" in dealing with hostile corporate journalists, Trump defended Kennedy, the founder of Children's Health Defense, a non-profit organization that seeks to end childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure, and his quest to investigate the link between childhood vaccines and autism as Welker repeatedly insisted that no such link exists. Welker desperately wanted to coax Trump into opposing childhood vaccines, but Trump repeatedly sidestepped her statements, serving up sound judgment for her listeners instead. Trump would only say that if certain vaccines are shown to be "dangerous for children," they should be eliminated. "When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what's going on with disease and sickness in our country, something's wrong," Trump said. "Are you talking about autism?" Welker asked. "Well, if you take a look at autism, go back 20 years: Autism was almost nonexistent, it was one out of 100,000. And now it's close to one out of 100. I mean, what's happening?" he asked. When Welker insisted that studies have shown that there is no link between vaccines and autism, Trump answered. "Maybe it's not vaccines, maybe it's chlorine in the water … I want them to look at everything." (Related: RFK Jr. declares plan to free federal health agencies from Big Pharma.) "Certain vaccines are incredible," Trump said. "But maybe some aren't, and if they aren't, we have to find out. When you talk about autism, and you look at the amount we have today versus 20 or 25 years ago, it's pretty scary."

Nobel laureates fear how Kennedy will clean up federal health agencies

Kennedy, a well-known critic of vaccines and a vocal opponent of certain public health policies, will be tasked with reorganizing and "cleaning up" federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The announcement sent shockwaves through the medical and public health communities when Trump announced it on Oct. 15. Kennedy has long been a vocal proponent of the belief that vaccines, particularly those containing thimerosal, are linked to neurological injuries, including autism. His appointment has made esteemed scientists argue that his lack of credentials and hostile attitude toward mainstream medicine and scientific bodies make him ill-suited for the role. In line with this, 77 Nobel laureates have signed a letter, published by the New York Times, urging the Senate to oppose the confirmation of Kennedy as the next head of the HHS. "The proposal to place Mr. Kennedy in charge of the federal agencies responsible for protecting the health of American citizens and for conducting the medical research that benefits our country and the rest of humanity has been widely criticized on multiple grounds," the letter wrote. "The leader of HHS should continue to nurture and improve, not threaten, these important and highly respected institutions and their employees." All this was done in fear that Kennedy would expose their lies and secrets to the public. "FDA's war on public health is about to end … If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags," Kennedy posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 26. Check out RFKJr.news for more stories about RFK Jr.'s role in the second Trump administration.
