Trump stated ahead of the November 5 elections that he is amenable to some of RFK Jr.’s contentious proposals, like banning fluoride from US water systems.

Former US President Donald Trump hinted that he may ban some vaccines if he were to return to the White House, with less than 48 hours remaining for voting. After declaring that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will play a “large role in the administration,” the Republican presidential candidate made the announcement.

Trump stated over the phone with NBC News that he is amenable to some of Kennedy’s contentious proposals, such as banning fluoride from US water systems. Kennedy entered this year’s election cycle as an independent candidate for president before withdrawing and endorsing Trump.

Jr. Robert Kennedy Statement

Former President John F. Kennedy’s nephew is well-known for disseminating lies and conspiracy theories on vaccines and other public health issues. He has previously made frequent connections between vaccines and autism, despite the fact that numerous studies have refuted this claim. Trump did not explicitly state that he would halt the vaccine ban in his interview with NBC News.

The former president said, “Well, I’m going to talk to [Kennedy] and talk to other people, and I’ll make a decision, but he’s a very talented guy and has strong views.” He continued by declining to discuss the precise responsibilities that Kennedy might play in the event that he regained power.

Trump stated that Kennedy will play a significant role in the office and that the political scion “can do anything he wants” during his remarks at a rally in Arizona on Thursday. Kennedy is “going to work on health and women’s health,” according to two people close to the Trump campaign.

Kennedy, meanwhile, tweeted on Friday that Trump’s administration will push for a “fluoride ban” on his first day in office, arguing that it is “industrial waste” that causes diseases like cancer. When questioned about the idea on Sunday, Trump responded, “Well, I haven’t talked to him about it yet, but it sounds OK to me.” “You realise that it’s feasible.”
