(Patria) - Republican candidate Donald Trump announced that scion of the Kennedy family and notorious vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will play a "big role" in his administration if he wins next week's election, AFP reported.
Speaking to reporters, Trump exuded confidence in Kennedy, who has spent two decades fueling vaccine misinformation, claiming he has the credentials for a high-level job.
"He will have a big role in healthcare," Trump said, adding that "he knows about it better than anyone."
Trump noted that Kennedy "has some views that, incidentally, I agree with very much and have agreed with for a long time," but avoided questions about whether he specifically supports his vaccine rhetoric.
Kennedy, a former Democrat, ran as an independent earlier this election cycle before dropping out of the race in August to support the Republican tycoon.
He is rumored to be a candidate for a government position, with speculation focusing on the role of Secretary of Health or Human Resources.
Since the mid-2000s, Kennedy has become a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement.
His claims include calling the Covid-19 vaccine "the deadliest ever made" and suggesting that the virus "ethnically targets" to harm Black people and white people, rather than targeting "Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."
