RFK Jr. says a Trump White House would immediately push to remove fluoride from water
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that a Donald Trump administration on Day One would "advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water."
WASHINGTON — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Saturday that a Trump administration would, on its first day, “advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
Kennedy linked fluoride to various illnesses, despite major medical associations supporting water fluoridation, which they say is safe and a benefit to public health.
“President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again,” the former Democratic presidential hopeful wrote in a post to X, tagging Michael Connett, an attorney who has led litigation that opposes the fluoridation of public drinking water.
Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic who has a history of pushing conspiracy theories, is primed to play a key role in a future Trump administration’s health policy. Since dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Trump, Kennedy has frequently appeared on the campaign stumping for the former president, and Trump said at a rally this week that if he is elected, Kennedy is “going to work on health and women’s health.”
Trump has embraced Kennedy. At an event in Arizona earlier this week, the former president said that Kennedy “can do anything he wants” in a potential Trump administration.
