President-Elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will appoint environmental lawyer and vaccine safety activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump said in a statement posted on Truth Social.
“The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country,” he added.
The appointment is sure to put many U.S. public health officials on edge as Kennedy has vowed to root out the “corporate capture” and corruption within the health agencies.
RFK Jr. will be in charge of HHS’s $2 trillion a year budget, the largest budget of any department in the US government, including the Pentagon.
Kennedy entered the 2024 presidential race in April 2023 initially as a Democrat and later switching to Independent to “reverse the chronic disease epidemic, end the war machine, clean corporate influence out of government and toxic pollution out of the environment, protect freedom of speech, and end politicization of enforcement agencies.”
RFK r. announced in March of 2024 that he had chosen Nicole Shanahan, a wealthy attorney and tech entrepreneur in the San Francisco Bay Area, to be his vice president.
During the announcement event in Oakland, California, Kennedy described Shanahan, 38, as a kindred spirit who, like him, has become disaffected with a Democrat party that no longer looks out for the middle class or defends the right to free speech.
Amid dwindling poll numbers, Kennedy announced on August 23, 2024 that he was suspending his campaign and throwing his support behind Trump.
“I promised the American people that I would withdraw from the race if I became a spoiler—someone who would alter the outcome of the election, but had no chance of winning,” he explained at the time. “In my heart, I no longer believe that I have a realistic path to electoral victory in the face of this relentless, systematic censorship and media control so I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours and ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the White House.”
He said he met with Trump the day after the assassination attempt and later at Mar-a-lago with his family and was “surprised” to learn that they are aligned on many key issues.
“At those meetings, he suggested that we join forces as a unity party,” Kennedy revealed, adding that they would continue to disagree in public on other issues if they came up, “while working together on existential issues upon which we are in concordance.”
In particular, Trump heartily agrees with Kennedy’s Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda.
“Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!” Trump said in his statement.
Kennedy thanked Trump for his “leadership and courage” in a statement later Thursday afternoon.
“We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic,” RFK Jr. posted on X.
“I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth,” he added.
“Together we will clean up corruption, stop the revolving door between industry and government, and return our health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science. I will provide Americans with transparency and access to all the data so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families.
My commitment to the American people is to be an honest public servant. Let’s go!”
About time that someone who wasn’t bought and paid for by big pharma and the Medical Industrial Complex of oh so happy to be complicit and support the AMA’s talking points is there to put the fear of God and retribution in their money grubbing - sanctimonious - hearts.
We really need a serious - no holds barred - investigation of the travesty that was the COVID-19 clot shot “vaccine” and the cover-ups - never any autopsies or ever a discouraging word about young men dropping dead in the prime of life of “cardiac infractions” and other crippling effects of that Frankensteinian witch’s brew of untested detritus masquerading as the protection it was never and won’t ever be.
Imagine the untold billions of dollars Pfizer, Moderna and the other raked in because of the hysteria they helped promulgate.
Subpoena them, get them on record then prosecute them when it likely is revealed the skulduggery they employed and went along with en route to the financial bonanzas.
Fauci needs to be tried for crimes against humanity, stripped of his pension and jailed or executed
Perhaps the biggest mistake that Trump made during his first go 'round was the people he trusted and surrounded himself with - Pence, Kelly, Fauci and the rest of that treasonous rogue’s gallery to name just a few.
This time - he is not going in with blinders on.
It’s time for scorched earth tactics; no more given them the benefit of the doubt; no need to even think for a second they might be well-intentioned.
I would actually like to see Fauci and many others tried for treason and executed - made examples of.
Just imagine how many people have suffered and died or been crippled for life because of their evil machinations and collaborations with the Chinese, the drug clot shot manufacturers the list goes on and on.
