RFK Jr. Poised to Assume Key Role Under Trump in Public Health
Whether your candidates won or lost last night, I’m sure most of us can agree: It’s a relief to have the elections behind us.
Still, this was an inspiring if turbulent election year for the health freedom movement — and for anyone concerned about the epidemic of chronic disease that is robbing our children of a healthy future.
To recap the last year-and-a-half — on April 19, 2023, our founder, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., took leave from Children’s Health Defense (CHD) to run for president as a Democrat.
About six months later, he switched gears to run as an independent.
Then, on Aug. 23 of this year, Kennedy, the longtime Democrat, suspended his campaign — and in a move that perhaps even he didn’t see coming — he endorsed former President Donald Trump.
Through it all, Kennedy remained true to his commitment: to end the chronic disease epidemic.
He never wavered. For perhaps the first time in history, Kennedy gave children a voice in a national election.
He reminded anyone who would listen that children are not Democrats or Republicans. They’re kids. They’re “swimming around in a toxic soup.” And they need our help.
“Our kids are swimming around in a toxic soup. [Including]: glyphosate in Roundup, neonicotinoid pesticides, atrazine, which is in 63% of our water supply, PFOAs and PFASs…high-fructose corn syrup, cell phone radiation, Wi-Fi radiation, [and] fluoride…”

With Trump’s support, Kennedy and his team launched the Make American Healthy Again campaign. He vowed to do whatever it takes to get toxic chemicals out of our food, our soil, our water and our air.
He promised to take on the FDA, CDC, HHS, NIH, NIAID, USDA, EPA, FCC — and any other federal agency that puts corporate profits ahead of public health.
Perhaps most importantly, Kennedy promised to get to the bottom of why 1 in 33 children in this country has autism.
Just last week, Kennedy — a member of Trump’s transition team — said that one of his first jobs, if Trump were elected, would be to gain access to the CDC’s vaccine safety data so his team can analyze it to determine if vaccines are as safe as the FDA and CDC say they are.
Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick — in charge of helping staff the gov if he wins — says he had a 2.5 hour meeting with RFK Jr. who talked about pulling (safe and proven) vaccines from the market. Lutnick says RFK will not be in charge of HHS, despite what RFK said. pic.twitter.com/K6wFo6EwqP

As with every election season, we’ve heard a lot of promises over these past months. With the election behind us, we at CHD are hopeful that Trump will keep the promises he made to Kennedy — so Kennedy can keep the promises he made to the American people.
Politics aside, I’m hopeful that 2025 will bring truth and transparency to our public health agencies — and health and prosperity for us and future generations.
CHD’s mission is now more important than ever. And for perhaps the first time, our mission appears to be in alignment with the federal government — to expose harms, seek justice and protect children from toxic exposures.

Hi PSI Readers,
“It’s normal to feel nervous in some social situations. For example, going on a date or giving a presentation may cause that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. But in social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, everyday interactions cause significant anxiety, self-consciousness and embarrassment because you fear being scrutinized or judged negatively by others.” (Mayo Clinic.)
Do I merely imagine I am “scrutinized or judged negatively by other” here at PSI? To some extent if seems JFK Jr. lives in a world where he does not see that all kids (and adults) are surrounded by kids (and adults) who scrutinize them and judge them negatively. This is the real world and not a pollyanna world.
And if one looks, one should see that JFK Jr. has scrutinized his former world and joined a man who had a hole shot in his ear and still keeps fighting for what he (Trump) believes is RIGHT. And I have read about JFK’s and Nixon’s relationship and maybe JRK JR now understands why his father was shot because his father had PRINCIPLES.
I make many mistakes daily all the while trying not to do this. But I am human and not perfect as others seem to consider themselves to be.
Have a good day

“social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia,”
This is a ‘feature’ of the psyche, not an ailment. It should be treated as such, difficult though that is.
“I am human and not perfect as others seem to consider themselves to be.”
Jerry, when you address a mirror, note that it is your own reflection you are addressing. Therefore, be aware of what you think. You give away a lot more than you might imagine…
Now, I have no worries about Trump, but Kennedy is a bit to and fro to me. Musk also, a bit, weird for a govt position? I guess I will wait and see.
