RFK Jr. Pledges to Alter FDA ‘Beyond Recognition’

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, as Trump’s new “drug czar,” plans some radical changes to the FDA and other agencies.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, appeared at a press briefing on Saturday decked out in a white lab smock embroidered with the “Food and Drug Administration” acronym “FDA” emblazoned on the breast pocket. Taking his lead from recent Trump campaign rhetoric, he promised to take fluoride out of the nation’s drinking water, “whether citizens want me to or not.”

According to the namesake of the one-time New York Senator and US Attorney General, fluoride causes “degenerative neurobehavioral disorders in children, night blindness, juvenile diabetes, bleeding in the brain and toe fungus.”

“Just look at other industrialized cultures,” scolded Kennedy, “and you don’t find pernicious fluoride in their drinking water!” He cited N. Korea, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia, China and “other manifestly progressive democracies.”

Asked what else he had in mind for his prospective tenure as head of the FDA, a position promised him by presidential candidate former President Donald J. Trump in exchange for RFK’s endorsement for president, Kennedy replied that he wants to ban insulin, aspirin, almost all antibiotics and Diet Pepsi. He indicated that he has also cast a critical eye on blue tortilla chips.

Regarding the controversial issue of women’s health care, Kennedy promised to ban Mifepristone, tampons, all birth control other than the rhythm method and said he will advocate for “mandatory chastity belts” for menstruating females. “I’m just getting started,” declared Kennedy warmly.
