I respectfully urge you to oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has been a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement, repeatedly promoting the false and dangerous claim that vaccines cause autism. His views on vaccines have been thoroughly debunked by the scientific community, yet his influence continues to fuel public health misinformation. Appointing someone with such a track record to oversee national health policy could severely undermine trust in critical public health initiatives, putting lives at risk. The Department of Health and Human Services needs a leader who will prioritize evidence-based practices and support scientific integrity—qualities that Kennedy’s history does not demonstrate.
Thank you for your attention to this crucial matter.
