US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday he will not seek the presidency in 2028, declaring in a post that “my loyalty is to President Trump and the mission we’ve started.” The statement ends weeks of speculation that the former vaccine-skeptic campaigner might mount a future White House bid and underscores his intention to remain the public face of the administration’s Make America Healthy Again agenda. Kennedy’s announcement coincided with the circulation of a draft White House report, dated Aug. 6 and reviewed by several media outlets, outlining the administration’s forthcoming “Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy.” The 119-page document largely avoids new restrictions on pesticides or ultra-processed foods, instead calling for additional research, voluntary industry guidelines on marketing unhealthy products to children, and an expanded focus on nutrition, fitness and screen-time education. It proposes reviving the Presidential Fitness Test in schools, tightening prior-authorization rules for certain pediatric psychiatric drugs and studying topics ranging from electromagnetic radiation to fluoride levels in drinking water. The draft follows a string of moves that have unsettled parts of the scientific community, including Kennedy’s cancellation last week of roughly US$500 million in federal grants for mRNA-vaccine research and the reinstatement of a childhood-vaccine safety panel long sought by his former advocacy group. Congress has so far shown little enthusiasm for funding the broader MAHA program, leaving key elements to be implemented through agency rulemaking and public-awareness campaigns.
