Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be involved in oversight of the health and agriculture departments under the second term of President-elect Donald Trump.

During an Oct. 30 virtual event, the former independent presidential candidate said Trump himself has promised that he would hold a powerful role over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Under the deal, Kennedy would have influence over select USDA divisions and three key offices under the HHS – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health.

While the environmental lawyer did not say whether this role would take the form of a formal appointment, he suggested that he could serve an advisory role if a formal title would be unfeasible. According to YourNews, any formal appointment would require Senate confirmation and could put Kennedy under fire due to his vocal opposition to vaccine policies.

At the time, the Trump campaign has not confirmed Kennedy’s claims and has dubbed them as “premature.” Its spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: “No formal decisions about [his] cabinet and personnel have been made.”

“However, [President-elect] Trump has said he will work alongside passionate voices like [Kennedy] to Make America Healthy Again by providing families with safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic plaguing our children,” Leavitt continued. “[He] will also establish a special presidential commission of independent minds and will charge them with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses.” (Related: Wow: Former CDC head Robert Redfield endorses Trump, says he and RFK Jr.”“got everything right.”)

YourNews noted that Kennedy has long criticized certain public health measures, including vaccine mandates. He also promotes minimizing toxic exposures to combat chronic childhood illnesses.

Kennedy recommends Florida’s Ladapo for HHS

Meanwhile, ABC News reported that Kennedy is eyeing Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general, to head the HHS. The aforementioned article smeared Ladapo as a “vaccine skeptic” even though the Sunshine State’s top doctor already presented evidence that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are dangerous.

Multiple sources confirmed this to the news outlet, with tipsters close to the president-elect’s transition team saying the recommendation “is being taken seriously.” The team is also expected to vet Ladapo for the position. Ladapo was appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to head the Florida Department of Health in 2022.

Kennedy himself attested to this during an interview with Jonathan Karl of ABC News. “We are still talking to people and [Ladapo] is among the people we are talking to,” the former independent candidate said.

According to Kennedy, Ladapo’s skepticism toward the federal government’s medical tyranny and vaccine mandates played a part in his decision to recommend Florida’s top doctor to lead HHS. Kennedy explained: “He was willing to question some of the government orthodoxies to not close the schools, to not force people to wear masks [and] to look actually at the safety data from the vaccines, rather than just accept the words that vaccines are safe and effective.”
