"Trump campaign quietly distances itself from RFK Jr after new vaccine safety comments

Donald Trump’s team appeared to be quietly distancing itself from Robert F Kennedy Jr in the immediate aftermath of the election amid speculation that the former presidential candidate could be handed control of US public health agencies.

Advisers to the president-elect questioned whether Mr Kennedy, a vaccine sceptic who has also been the subject of a series of bizarre stories involving animals, would make it through a security check for a cabinet position.

Mr Kennedy had previously said that Mr Trump had “promised” him control of the Department of Health and Human Services and public health agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

However, there is disquiet in the Trump team about media attention on the former independent candidate after he was pressed in a post-election interview with NBC about his vaccine scepticism.

In August, Mr Kennedy admitted that he had found a dead bear cub and dumped it in Central Park in New York in 2014, leaving a bicycle at the scene to make it look like an accident.

He thought locals, who have been baffled by the mystery for a decade, would find it “amusing”.

Mr Kennedy has also been accused of eating the barbecued remains of a dog in Korea – a claim he denied – and sawing the head off a dead whale to strap it to the roof of his car.

If handed control of the public health agencies by Mr Trump, Mr Kennedy said on Wednesday he planned to clear out “entire departments”.

“In some categories, their entire departments, like the nutrition department in the FDA, they have to go. They’re not doing their job. They’re not protecting our kids,” he told MSNBC.

“Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it’s got two or three?”

He added that he could not eliminate public health agencies altogether without congressional approval, but would seek to root out “corruption” in those bodies."

Not true what he said about Froot Loops. Both have 12+ ingredients. The difference is U.S. uses artificial color chemicals vs Canada's more natural-based colors:
