Robert Kennedy Jr. claimed if former President Donald Trump wins the presidency then he would demand U.S. water systems remove fluoride from public water.

The former independent presidential candidate made his remarks via X, formerly Twitter, where he referred to water fluoridation as “industrial waste.” Kennedy noted that former First Lady Melania Trump also believes in removing fluoride from water.

Despite believing in numerous health-related conspiracy theories such as vaccines being linked to autism, Trump has vowed to give Kennedy a prominent  role in America’s healthcare.

“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Trump wrote on X. “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.”

He added, “President ​@realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again.”

Earlier this week, Trump and Kennedy visited a coffee shop in Pennsylvania when the former president told reporters he plans to utilize RFK Jr.’s opinion on healthcare. Trump refused to say; however, if he agrees with Kennedy on his vaccine stance.

Kennedy has been a longtime anti-vaccine advocate, including against the Covid-19 vaccine, and other immunizations.
