Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he wants to clean house in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when President Trump takes office.
In some cases, he wants to remove entire departments from the federal agency.
The former presidential candidate said some departments, such as nutrition, “have to go” because they’re not “doing their job” to protect children.
“I can get the corruption out of the agencies,” he said.
“That’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years. I’ve sued all those agencies. I have a Ph.D. in corporate corruption,” he added.

“FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma,” RFK Jr. said in October.
“If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags,” he added.

Fortune reports:
The Food and Drug Administration has been around since 1906, though under different names at times before officially becoming the FDA in 1930. Recently, Kennedy said Trump has asked him to do three things: First, “clean up the corruption in our government health agencies”; second, “return those agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science”; and third, “Make America Healthy Again by ending the chronic disease epidemic.” Apparently that means potentially removing fluoride from water, banning pharmaceutical advertising, and getting toxins out of foods, if Kennedy has his way.

From The Hill:
Kennedy endorsed President-elect Trump in August after initially running as a Democratic candidate for president, and then as an independent.
Trump’s win in the presidential race sets Kennedy up as a winner himself, who is likely to play some kind of role in health care for the Trump administration.
ADVERTISEMENTKennedy last week said Trump assured him he would get a role in The White House if he won the presidential election.
“We don’t know what I’m going to do. I talked to the president about it yesterday, and he asked me what I wanted, and I said, we’re developing a proposal now,” Kennedy said during a separate interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, who asked if Kennedy is getting the job of Health and Human Services secretary.
That job would require Senate confirmation. Republicans appear likely to have a majority in the Senate of at least 52 seats, but it is unclear how easy it would be to get Kennedy confirmed. There has been plenty of speculation that Kennedy would serve in a role that does not require Senate confirmation.
Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of Trump’s transition team, recently said Kennedy is “not getting a job” as HHS leader.
