I am writing to urge you to oppose the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy is dangerously unqualified and unfit for this position. He has opposed vaccines for others for many years (despite vaccinating his own children) and has spread conspiracy theories about vaccines especially in relation to autism. His opposition to vaccines has lead to and is likely to lead to more outbreaks of diseases such as the measles, mumps, and even polio. Another conspiracy theory and disinformation he is responsible for spreading is blaming antidepressants for the rise in mass shootings. He will also undercut important medical research and lacks the experience needed to run a federal agency. For the health of the people of our nation, vote against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
