Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield Backs Trump and RFK Jr.’s Plan to "Make America Healthy Again"

In a significant endorsement, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has thrown his support behind Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s joint plan to "Make America Healthy Again." This surprising partnership, which unites the former president with a once-prominent critic, aims to tackle the nation’s growing health crisis, particularly the surge in chronic diseases affecting children.



In a September 24 editorial for Newsweek, Redfield praised Trump and Kennedy for bringing this urgent issue to the forefront of the 2024 presidential debate. The former CDC head emphasized that under the Trump administration, there was a concerted effort to address chronic diseases even before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the nation's health priorities.


“I support their noble effort to heal our children,” Redfield wrote, highlighting the duo’s commitment to confronting the rise of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and other health conditions that disproportionately affect America’s youth.

Redfield also pointed out that Trump's administration took decisive action before 2020 to address the chronic health epidemic, advocating for early interventions to combat these growing threats. “The Trump Administration set a course to address chronic disease, funding earlier interventions to curb the growing crisis,” Redfield noted, praising the foresight of Trump’s policies.


This endorsement signals a major development in Trump’s 2024 campaign as he continues to build momentum. Redfield’s support also lends credibility to Trump's health policy agenda, as Redfield served as a leading public health figure during one of the most challenging periods in American history.


Trump's new alliance with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic and health advocate, has taken many by surprise. However, Redfield believes this unconventional partnership is exactly what the country needs to address the nation’s failing health system. “After more than 40 years in the public health arena, it might surprise some of my colleagues to know I think President Trump chose the right man for the job: Robert Kennedy, Jr.,” Redfield wrote, acknowledging Kennedy’s dedication to reforming the health sector.


For Christians and Trump supporters, this partnership represents a continuation of Trump’s commitment to fighting for the American people. Trump has consistently emphasized the importance of family values, individual health, and reducing the government’s interference in citizens’ personal lives. His work with Kennedy demonstrates his willingness to collaborate across traditional political lines to achieve meaningful solutions for the nation’s children and families.


Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump’s administration made strides in public health by investing in early interventions and pushing to curb the alarming rise in chronic illnesses. Trump’s healthcare policies aimed to provide freedom of choice and empower Americans to take control of their health without the heavy-handed mandates of government-controlled healthcare.


Under Trump’s leadership, the U.S. economy experienced a boom, leading to improvements in healthcare access and affordability. His administration championed deregulation, allowing more innovative healthcare solutions to flourish. Now, with a renewed focus on the nation’s health crisis, Trump’s plan with Kennedy seeks to reinvigorate that momentum.


The chronic disease crisis has reached a tipping point, with many of America’s children suffering from preventable illnesses that threaten their long-term health. Trump and Kennedy’s plan seeks to address these underlying issues through early intervention, education, and a return to traditional values of personal responsibility.


Dr. Redfield’s endorsement of Trump’s health agenda adds credibility and urgency to the conversation about the nation’s future. As Redfield rightly points out, Trump and Kennedy are putting the health of America’s children at the center of the debate—a necessary step to restoring the nation’s strength.


As Trump pushes forward with his 2024 presidential campaign, this unique partnership with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reflects his dedication to fighting for a healthier, stronger, and more unified America. His bold leadership and ability to collaborate with former adversaries are what the country needs to heal from years of divisiveness and decline.


For conservatives, Trump’s plan to "Make America Healthy Again" is not just about policies—it's about protecting the future of the nation’s children and upholding the values that have made America great. With strong allies like Dr. Robert Redfield and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by his side, Trump’s health agenda is poised to be a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign, offering hope and healing to millions of American families.
