Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

Trump plans to tap Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his health and human services secretary.

Kennedy has spread misinformation about vaccines, fluoride, raw milk and other topics.

Trump said last month that if elected, he would let Kennedy “go wild” on health, food and medicine.

Here is what Kennedy has said about 11 health issues.

Kennedy has falsely claimed that mercury-based preservative no longer used in childhood vaccines was linked to autism.

The CDC says there’s no evidence of that link.

Kennedy has cast doubt on the findings, claiming that the drugs were discredited because various groups stood to make money off Covid vaccines.
