US President-elect Donald Trump has formally announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Trump made the announcement in a statement on his X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.

He said the Kenney-led HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that Americans will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country.

Trump wrote: “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.”

A member of the Kennedy family, Robert is a son of the former U.S. attorney general and senator Robert F. Kennedy, and a nephew of the assasinated U.S. president John F. Kennedy and Senator Ted Kennedy.
