Trump Says RFK Jr. Can Do “Pretty Much What He Wants” on Public Health in a Second Term

The Latest: RFK Jr. Says He’ll “Immediately End the Vaccine Mandate” If His Father Is Re-Elected

Donald Trump has said that if he is re-elected president, he will give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “pretty much what he wants” on public health policy. Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine activist, has said that he would “immediately end the vaccine mandate” if Trump wins a second term.

Trump’s comments came during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity. When Hannity asked Trump about his plans for public health policy, Trump said that he would “listen to the experts.” However, he also said that he would give Kennedy “pretty much what he wants.”

Kennedy has been a vocal critic of vaccines, and he has repeatedly made false claims about their safety.

In a statement, Kennedy said that he was “honored” by Trump’s comments. He said that he would work with Trump to “end the vaccine mandate” and to “restore freedom of choice to parents.”

Trump’s comments have been met with criticism from public health experts. Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University, said that Trump’s comments were “dangerous” and that they could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases.

The vaccine mandate has been a controversial issue. Some people believe that it is necessary to protect public health, while others believe that it is an infringement on personal freedom.

The Biden administration has said that it will continue to enforce the vaccine mandate. However, it is unclear whether the mandate will survive a legal challenge.

If Trump is re-elected, it is likely that he will end the vaccine mandate. This could have a significant impact on public health in the United States.
