We’re finally getting an idea of what Make America Healthy Again might actually look like.
On Saturday, Donald Trump’s health czar Robert F. Kennedy revealed that a first-day priority of the new Trump administration would be to end municipal water fluoridation.
“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy Tweeted.
“Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again.”
In a second Tweet, Kennedy drew attention to a recent federal court ruling, in which an Obama-appointed judge, after reviewing a huge number of scientific studies and hours of expert testimony, ruled that the EPA had “improperly approved this dangerous neurotoxin.”
If you’ve been following the news, or my writing for Infowars, you’ll know the exact ruling Kennedy is referring to. Back in September, Judge Edward Chen, in the Northern District of California, found that fluoride in drinking water poses an “unreasonable risk” of reduced IQ in children.
“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” Chen wrote in his judgment.
“EPA’s own expert agrees that fluoride is hazardous at some level,” he added, citing a report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) which “concluded that fluoride is indeed associated with reduced IQ in children, at least at exposure levels at or above 1.5 mg/L.”
American towns have already started removing fluoride from their water supplies after Judge Chen’s ruling. Yorktown and Somers, both in New York State, have announced an end to municipal fluoridation, on the sensible basis that residents can choose to supplement their diets with fluoride if they wish through toothpaste and other products, but nobody should have to consume fluoride if they don’t want to.
So that’s one MAHA initiative: an end to fluoridation.
Yesterday Trump said, in an interview with NBC, that idea “sounds okay to me.” Let’s assume he really is on board.
What else?
In the same interview, Trump was asked directly if he would consider banning certain vaccines.
“Well, I’m going to talk to [RFK Jr.] and talk to other people, and I’ll make a decision, but he’s a very talented guy and has strong views,” Trump replied.
That’s definitely not a refusal.
It would make sense, of course. Trump has Tweeted in the past about vaccines causing autism—”Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!”—and vaccines are an RFK Jr. special subject. Kennedy has spent decades campaigning to highlight the harmful, even deadly, side effects of vaccines and the double tragedy of families having a child injured by a vaccine only to hit a wall of denials and smears in their quest for justice.
Oh yes—and there was that leaked phone call between Trump and RFK Jr. in which the former president expressed, in the words of CNN, “vaccine scepticism.”
Which vaccines might be targeted, isn’t clear yet. Since 2020, one of Kennedy’s main targets has been the COVID-19 vaccines, and especially the new experimental mRNA vaccines (or gene therapy, if you prefer), but that may be a touchy subject with Trump. Trump was responsible, after all, for Operation Warp Speed and probably doesn’t want to admit that it was a mistake—even if it was an honest mistake, and I think it was. So far Trump has avoided any suggestion that he regrets Warp Speed and the mass rollout of the vaccines, but he has apologised to military personnel and government employees who were forced out of their jobs for refusing to take the shot. In August, he said at a town hall that he would rehire servicemen and -women and give them backdated pay as compensation for their hardships.
Then there’s JD Vance’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, in which Vance freely spoke about the unpleasant side effects he experienced when he took a COVID vaccine.
So maybe the COVID shots might be on the table.
It’s more likely that other vaccines, and the absurd childhood vaccination schedule, will be on the chopping block. In Trump’s leaked phone call with Kennedy, he spoke about the dangers of giving children too many vaccines all at once.
“When you feed a baby, Bobby, a vaccination that is, like, 38 different vaccines and it looks like it’s been for a horse, Not a, you know, 10-pound or 20-pound baby… And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically. I’ve seen it too many times.”
Okay. So now we have two specific targets: the water supply and the vaccines.
Kennedy has already spoken at length during the campaign about endocrine disruptors—ubiquitous toxic chemicals that disrupt our body’s hormonal balance, with devastating effects for health across the board—and ultra-processed food, which Americans like the rest of the Developed World are consuming in unholy quantities, again with devastating effects. Kennedy believes that these are two of the principal causes of the chronic-disease nightmare America faces today, from obesity to neurological diseases and everything in between. He’s right.
That’s two more targets.
Institutional capture has been another topic of focus for RFK Jr. across the decades, and he’s spoken recently, as we’d expect, about the need for root and branch reform of the FDA and the USDA and the EPA and so on. All of these institutions are supposed to protect Americans and ensure corporate interests are held to account, but instead they’ve been hopelessly captured by the very corporations they’re supposed to police.
So we’ve got at least five clear targets now: the water supply; the vaccines; the pollution; the food; and the regulators.
If that doesn’t sound like an agenda for a full four-year term—and probably beyond—I don’t know what does.
Trump still hasn’t announced a specific role for Kennedy, but Kennedy himself has told his supporters that he could be given powers over a number of different public health agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the US Department of Agriculture.
A floating position could very well be a strength for Kennedy—as a kind of “minister without portfolio” who can move around with relative ease from department to department and from organization to organization, navigating the intricate tangle of interests that determine the health and well-being of Americans, without getting caught up in them.
Yeah, I like that idea a lot.
But this is all to come.
In the meantime, get out there and vote if you haven’t already. We can’t Make America Healthy Again if Trump isn’t elected.
