President Donald Trump had been expected to appoint Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, to a role in his administration that will oversea healthcare in some form. But instead of being a “czar” or advisor, Trump plugged RFK Jr right into the mix as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
According to his post on Truth Social:
I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
HHS is huge. It has 13 operating divisions, including 10 agencies in the U.S. Public Health Service and three human services agencies. Included under RFK’s purview will be the CDC, the FDA, and the NIH.
In other words, RFK will now be empowered to completely reshape healthcare in the United States from just about every federal angle.
Reactions to the news were stunning:

Anyone who claims @RobertKennedyJr isn't qualified to head HHS needs to explain the special qualifications of the current holder of that office, Xavier Becerra, who is a career politician with a law degree.

God forbid we let RFK Jr. be in charge of HHS, otherwise he might do something crazy like fund experimental gain-of-function research in Chinese laboratories and cause a global pandemic
Oh wait

I got to witness Bobby make his announcement to drop out and endorse you front row in Phoenix. He is one of the most genuine patriots I've ever heard speak.
God bless RFK Jr. and President Trump.

Just a few months ago @RobertKennedyJr gave up his Presidential campaign to join forces with Trump to “save the children”
Today Bobby was announced as Trump’s new Head of HHS to fulfill that mission and Make America Healthy Again
Congrats Bobby!! 🚀 pic.twitter.com/bz8Xun41Oc

LONG OVERDUE. It’s time to get the toxic chemicals, heavy metals and poisons out of our food. It’s time to stop spraying our skies with metals and get the atrazine and fluoride out of our tap water. Gut the FDA. Big Pharma & Big Food work together to make billions keeping us sick

LFG! Let’s fight obesity and Big Pharma together, and, most importantly, let’s lock up Fauci! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Ladies and gentlemen, your new HHS Secretary, Bobby Kennedy Jr.:
"I asked God for 19 years to put me in a position where I could end the chronic disease epidemic and bring health back to our children, and in August, God sent me Donald Trump.”
MAHA 🤝 MAGA

This move is truly transformative. As Kennedy and Trump have both highlighted, this nation was once the envy of the world for both healthcare and fitness of its citizens. Today, we’re the laughingstock. Kennedy is poised to truly Make America Healthy Again.
