Trump picks **Robert F Kennedy Jr** to find new leaders for US health departments. Ex-presidential candidate focuses on choosing officials without pharma-industry ties while possibly taking role himself

In a surprising turn of events Robert F Kennedy Jr got a new task from his former rival: finding top-brass for US health agencies (including both HHS and FDA)

Two close-to-matter sources confirmed that Kennedy whose campaign ended this summer‚ is now checking resumes of potential health-agency chiefs. “The American people re-elected President Trump by resounding margins because they trust his judgement and support his policies including his promise to Make America Healthy Again alongside well-respected leaders like RFK Jr‚“ stated Trump-Vance Transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt

The environmental lawyer - known for his stance on medical testing; is working with his daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy and investor Omeed Malik on this project. While theres talk about Kennedy getting an official position himself‚ transition co-chair Howard Lutnick said earlier that hes “not getting a job for HHS“

Kennedyʼs team including Del Bigtree - his ex-communications director wants to pick scientists and doctors without pharma-industry connections. They got a clear timeline from Trump: show good results in health improvements by 26. Last week Kennedy suggested removing fluoride from public water which he thinks causes health issues; though dental experts say it cuts tooth decay by 25%
