RFK Jr wants Trump to stop taking his meds

Recently, there have been concerns about the health of the American president.
Fatigue, swollen ankles, memory loss and “brain fog” have all been observed.

These signs are fuelling speculation about his health at a time when he is still carrying heavy political responsibilities.

No medical diagnosis has been made public, but these rumors are spreading, particularly in political and media circles.

Dr. Malhotra, a British cardiologist and advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has his own theory: Trump is suffering from side effects from his medications, notably statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) and aspirin.

In his view, these drugs cause heart and brain fatigue and shorten his life expectancy.

He recommended their suspension, in the belief that this would quickly clear the President’s mind.

These statements are part of an anti-pharmaceutical rhetoric that Malhotra has been promoting for years, notably with his forwards against COVID-19 vaccines and traditional medicine.

Malhotra’s ideas are not shared by all doctors.

The British Heart Foundation denounces his comments as “misleading and inaccurate”, pointing out that statins are one of the most studied and safest drugs in the world.

Several cardiologists point out that stopping these drugs abruptly could, on the contrary, increase the risk of a heart attack.

Malhotra, already criticized for his anti-vaccine stance, is perceived by many as more of an activist than a scientist.

The fact that these remarks were made by an advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

It calls into question the reliability of the public health community around Kennedy, already known for its vaccine skepticism.

Malhotra’s involvement in groups such as Make America Healthy Again and Make Europe Healthy Again reflects an ambition to spread a discourse of “alternative medicine” on a global scale.

In the media, this cocktail of politics, health and misinformation feeds a delicate debate on the medical transparency of leaders.

For Donald Trump and his family, these rumors reopen the debate on his ability to continue in politics.

They risk damaging his image of strength and endurance, patiently built up in public opinion.

According to the article, those close to him have received private warning messages from Dr. Malhotra, a sign of genuine concern or manipulation.

with new political deadlines approaching, the President’s health is a strategic and medical issue for his camp.
