Donald Trump has refused to rule out banning certain vaccines during his second term, he told NBC on Sunday.
Trump, who has linked vaccines to autism in the past, said banning vaccines would remain an option.
“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 said.
Trump has yet to specify exactly what role RFK Jr. will play in his administration, but Trump has made clear it will be an important one.
“He can do anything he wants,” the former president said at a campaign event last week.
Trump has said Kennedy will “work on health and women’s health,” and sources have also claimed he will focus on “chronic childhood disease.”
On Saturday, Kennedy said a Trump administration would issue general advice to bring water fluoridation to an end.
“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.”
Trump has since confirmed that the plan is “possible.”
