The anti-vaccine figures who claim to be working with Trump and RFK Jr.’s teams

A number of anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists have claimed to be “working with,” consulting, or sending recommendations about public health policy to President Donald Trump’s advisors — including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been voted out of committee and is awaiting a full Senate confirmation vote to lead Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services.

During Trump’s campaign, post-election period, and now as Kennedy awaits confirmation during Trump’s second term, these figures — some of whom also traffic in other types of extremism, such as antisemitism and the QAnon conspiracy theory — have apparently been consulting or speaking with Trump officials and Kennedy’s associates.
