Robert Kennedy Jr. claimed if former president Donald Trump wins the presidency, he would require U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.

The former independent presidential candidate shared his comments 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 conspiracy theories, such as linking vaccines to autism, Trump promised to give Kennedy a prominent role in American health care.

“On January 20, the Trump White House will inform all US. water treatment systems for removing fluoride from public water, Trump wrote on X. “Fluoride is an industrial waste that causes arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders and thyroid disease.”

He added: “President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want America to be healthy again.”

Earlier this weekTrump and Kennedy were visiting a Pennsylvania coffee shop when the former president told reporters he planned to use RFK Jr.’s opinion. on health care. Trump didn’t want to say; however, if he agrees with Kennedy on his position on vaccines.

Kennedy is a long-time supporter of anti-vaccines, including the Covid-19 vaccine and other vaccinations.
