5 Of The Wildest Ideas Floated By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

LOADING ERROR LOADING President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday. Here are some of Kennedy’s sweeping ideas for the country during Trump’s second term: Remove Fluoride From Drinking Water Kennedy has pledged the upcoming Trump administration would advise “all U.S. water systems” to remove fluoride from public water, claiming the mineral “is an industrial waste” linked to “arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.” That is not true at levels recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency that were lowered in 2015. Undercut Federal Support For Vaccination Programs Kennedy is one of the nation’s leading skeptics of vaccines, spreading conspiracy theories and junk science while claiming “no vaccine” is safe and effective. That’s, like, when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.” Gut Parts Of The FDA, Promote Raw Milk And Other ‘Suppressed’ Therapies Kennedy recently told a reporter he believes entire departments of the Food and Drug Administration “have to go.” He specifically called out the nutrition department at the agency, claiming experts there were not “doing their job” and “not protecting our kids.” He went on and said he would root out unidentified corruption in federal agencies: “Once they’re not corrupt, once Americans are getting good signs and they’re allowed to make their own choices, they’re going to get a lot healthier.” FDA’s war on public health is about to end. He said last month other items in his sights include the “aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma.” Freedom To ‘Go Wild’ On Health In the waning days of his campaign, Trump said he would endow Kennedy with the ability to “go wild” on health as part of his vision to Make America Great, and Healthy, Again.
