Christiane Northrup is a health misinformer who has claimed COVID-19 “was part of a plot involving Deep State brainwashing and treacherous depopulation schemes,” “called the Centers for Disease Control a ‘covid death cult,’ and described the [COVID-19] vaccines as crimes against humanity.” She has also repeatedly promoted pro-Nazi, antisemitic, and QAnon material. On January 28 — the day before Kennedy’s confirmation hearing — she made an appearance on antisemitic QAnon supporter Scott McKay’s podcast Patriot Streetfighter. During the interview she was asked if she would be “moving into that RFK pipeline to work with everything he’s going to work on.” In response, Northrup said that she was “working with people who are working in there.”

Pete Evans is an Australian chef and TV personality who has pushed COVID-19 and anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and published a book with Kennedy’s anti-vaccine organization. He also reportedly posted a Nazi symbol online. On January 31, a few days after Kennedy’s confirmation hearing, he told a QAnon-affiliated podcast that he had “spoken to Bobby Kennedy” about “ingredients that are labeled on food” and about creating “a government website or Make America Healthy Again website” with the “correct information … about dietary advice.” He said it could be “with or without my name associated with it.”

Robert Malone is a doctor known for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and its treatments, and he has ties to other conspiracy theorists. He told the Epoch Times-affiliated outlet NTD in November that he had “spoken at length with some of the people that are very close to Bobby [Kennedy] that are involved in the transition and the planning” about “major structural changes across HHS.” On a podcast a few days later, Malone went further, claiming that he had even been “asked by somebody in the transition team … to lay out thoughts about how [the] FDA could be reformed” and speculating that he might find himself “on the inside.” A few days after the 2024 election, CBS News reported that Malone said “he had spoken with many of the aides from some of the ‘at least four different HHS transition teams’ under Trump … in recent weeks about the future of the department.”

Thomas Renz is an attorney who has pursued litigation over, and pushed misinformation about, COVID vaccines, and he has partnered with QAnon figures for some of those efforts. On his podcast in November, Renz said regarding vaccines that he would “write out a couple of different things … so that, you know, day one, my recommendation for a few different things and send it over” to Kennedy, with whom he said he had “spoken at length a few different times.” (Renz did note that he doesn’t “know whether he’ll [Kennedy will] listen or not.“)

Mikki Willi​​s is the director behind the viral COVID-19 conspiracy theory video Plandemic and has been friendly with at least one QAnon figure. On social media in November, he claimed that “many of [Trump’s] new appointees are personal friends of” his and that he was “privy to private conversations taking place behind the scenes, and what I’m hearing is profoundly inspiring.”

Charlene Bollinger is a fringe commentator and anti-vaccine activist whose social media account has spread antisemitism and QAnon conspiracy theories in addition to targeting vaccines. Before the election, she told One America News that she was “working with a number of people” in Trump’s transition team “to put together something beautiful so that Bobby Kennedy can roll out his vision and we get to be a part of this.”
