On Thursday February 13, 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Jr was confirmed by the US Senate by a 52 to 48 vote to be the Trump Administrations’ Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), later that day he was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
Following the attempted assassination of former President and then Republican candidate Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, RFK jr, who himself was running for President, was prompted by Calley Means to speak with Trump. Common ground was found, and on August 23, 2024 Kennedy withdrew his Presidential candidacy in swing states, and endorsed Trump for President. That same day, at a Trump rally in Arizona and was received with an epic applause. It was from here the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement grew, in combination with the the already established and ever growing Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
Trump soon announced his nomination for RFK jr to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, the top position overseeing NIH, CDC and the FDA, three authorities that are put pedestals around the world.
Bobby Kennedy’s stated mission is to end the childhood chronic disease epidemic in the united states.
Kennedy is physically fit, working out daily, an impressive regimen for a 70 year old. He has suffered through and over come many personal health challenges, being a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, attending AA meetings regularly, but he also lives with a “rare neurological disorder that causes his larynx to tighten uncontrollably and his voice to halt and tremor”. This condition called spasmodic dysphonia was diagnosed in the ’90s, but has progressively got worse. Kennedy suspects this condition is linked to a flu vaccine.

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!
