I just hope Trump does not throw RFK under the bus this time like he did over the vaxxine task force he promised the last time to RFK. RFK doesn't talk about it, but that is what caused the bad blood between them during Trump's first term.
I only knew that Trump had offered certain government positions to RFK jr., some two months ago, when RFK jr. was present at a Trump rally.
Can you point to any link where Trump had offered the same positions to RFK jr. before or during Trump's first term?
If he did so, i'm sure that Trump already intended this promise to be realized in his 3rd term, but he couldn't tell that to RFK jr., for operational reasons.
I cannot provide any links. This was back in 2016/2017. Being in medicine and research, vaxxines are a topic I track closely so the news that RFK would be heading up a task force to finally get some justice for victims of vaxxine injury and expose the criminals got my attention. My take on what happened, of which RFK spoke only briefly and not in great detail, was that he had been excited because Trump told him he would be allowed to form a task force to deal with vaxxine injury after they had some conversations on this issue. Trump had seemed to be genuinely interested and RFK was under the impression that he had a green light on the project. He had made some arrangements with his own life and scheduling in preparation to take the job on to hit the floor running. Then suddenly after Trump got in office he pulled the rug out from under RFK and the entire thing did not materialize. It was also alleged that Pfizer in particular wrote some checks to the Trump campaign - which does not surprise me given the power of pharma to influence politics and policy.
At that time I did notice a shift in some of Trump's campaign rhetoric seeming to back off on calling pharma out over the issue of fluoride and vaxxines. RFK was pretty bitter over the whole incident and was for some time. He felt like he had been stabbed in the back. In interviews I saw around that time it was noticeable that Trump was a sore subject for RFK but he would not speak about it - which does demonstrate RFK's character that he did not publicize what had happened. He simply kept it on the dl. Possibly now Trump has been able to divulge to RFK what was taking place behind the scenes. It appears that they may have worked out their differences over this issue and seem to be on the same page.
I do know that we now have far more information that has worked its way through the scientific and legal system regarding both fluoride and vaxxines that definitely gives us more ammunition this go around. I will admit that the headwinds at the time would not have worked to our advantage then as much as they will now. So, you do have a point. Although it seemed a good idea and a worthwhile and much needed endeavor, the timing was not good. It would have to wait. I pray that now is that time even though it is way overdue. Thank you for your response.
