In his victory speech Tuesday night, President-elect Donald Trump foreshadowed his health care agenda by giving a shoutout to a key supporter who has suggested pulling approved vaccines from the market, removing fluoride from the water supply and vastly overhauling the federal health agencies.
“We can add a few names, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,” Trump told supporters. “And he’s going to help make America healthy again. He’s a great guy and really means that he wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him do it.”
Kennedy, 70, a political independent who dropped out of the presidential race in August to back Trump, applauded Trump’s victory in a tweet Wednesday morning.
