RFK Jr.'s nomination as Health and Human Services Secretary poses significant risks to public health that cannot be ignored. His well-documented efforts to undermine confidence in vaccines and promote unsubstantiated claims that they cause autism raise alarms about his ability to lead the agency tasked with protecting Americans through proven vaccination programs. While assurances were made about maintaining existing vaccine policies, his anti-vaccine advocacy and potential financial interests in lawsuits against vaccine makers create an unacceptable conflict of interest that could erode trust in public health efforts. I urge you to reject this nomination and appoint a qualified, ethics-bound leader committed to upholding scientific consensus and advancing policies rooted in evidence, not conspiracy theories that endanger lives. The health of our nation depends on it.
