I strongly urge you to reconsider the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His well-documented anti-vaccine rhetoric poses a grave threat to public health and safety. Appointing someone who has propagated dangerous misinformation linking vaccines to autism and vowed to purge key health agencies could severely undermine our nation's vaccination efforts and leave vulnerable populations at risk of preventable diseases like polio and measles. Kennedy's fringe views on vaccines fly in the face of overwhelming scientific consensus and evidence. Reversing decades of progress in disease prevention would be catastrophic. As a leader, you have a responsibility to prioritize evidence-based policies that protect all Americans, especially children. I implore you to nominate a qualified candidate committed to promoting proven public health measures and rebuilding trust in our vital institutions. The consequences of emboldening anti-vaccine movements are far too severe to ignore.
