“Was Kennedy chosen by Trump and then Trump changed his mind?”
That’s what’s been reported, and Trump never has denied it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of Sen. and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were tragically murdered, has continued in the footsteps of these famously courageous men by standing up for the truth.
He co-founded Waterkeeper Alliance — the world’s largest clean water advocacy group — and provides legal counsel for the Natural Resources Defense Council, which help protect organic producers.
What Happened to Trump’s Vaccine Safety Commission?
When President Trump was elected, he contacted Kennedy and asked him to run his Vaccine Safety Commission. Unfortunately, the Safety Commission never got off the ground:
“I agreed to do it, but immediately after that, Pfizer wrote a $1 million check to his inauguration committee. He then appointed a Pfizer lobbyist, Alex Azar, to run the HHS, and he handpicked a Pfizer insider, Scott Gottlieb, to run the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As soon as they got in there, they shut down the Vaccine Safety Commission and any other questioning of vaccines,” Kennedy says.
“I think a lot of people were telling him, ‘You shouldn’t be doing this,’ and [Bill] Gates was one of them. But I think once he took the money from Pfizer and put in their guys, the commission was dead in the water.”
Bill Gates’ meeting with Donald Trump included a surprising offer: a job for the Microsoft co-founder in the White House.
The revelation came in an interview Gates did with life science website Stat. During Gates’ 40-minute conversation with the president, the two discussed the vacant White House science advisor role, which has been empty since Trump took office.
“I mentioned: ‘Hey, maybe we should have a science adviser,’” Gates told the website. “He said: Did I want to be the science adviser?”
The role of science advisor is to help guide the president on issues relating to science and technology, overseeing the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Gates declined, telling the president that it was “not a good use of my time.”
In addition to the potential job offer, Gates also spoke to Trump about a universal flu vaccine. That conversation was probably “the longest conversation about universal flu vaccine that the president’s ever had,” Gates told Stat.
While it is unclear if the president will act on the idea, Gates recalls Trump being rather interested, so much so that he called FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb with Gates in the room to get his perspective.
Okay, I found it at a source. It was way before COVID. It was back in early 2016.
I suspect that by the summer of 2020, Trump regretted that decision. Trump did bring in Atlas in the summer of 2020. And of course Trump became a lame duck by November 2020.
