Robert Kennedy Jr. reviews resumes for Trump’s top health care positions

However, Howard Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition team, told CNN ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election that Kennedy “didn’t get the job at HHS.”

Bigtree said Trump wanted Kennedy’s ideas to reduce chronic disease to produce results within two years, especially among U.S. children.

Kennedy last week said he would recommend removing fluoride from public water supplies, falsely claiming on X that the chemical is linked to numerous health problems, including broken bones and cancer. The American Dental Association says the decades-old intervention reduces tooth decay by more than 25% in adults and children.

“President Trump is giving him two years to demonstrate success,” Bigtree said. “President Trump is very interested in an election that Bobby Kennedy believes will get the job done.”

Kennedy will recommend scientists and doctors who “don’t have any conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical industry when it comes to departments that will handle drugs and vaccines,” Bigtree said. Bigtree, an anti-vaccine activist, is the executive director of MAHA Action, a new organization named after Kennedy’s pledge to “Make America Healthy Again” that Bigtree said will also nominate Kennedy. Kennedy is being assisted by his daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, his former campaign manager, and investor Omid Malik, a source familiar with the matter said.
