I am writing to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). His history of promoting anti-vaccine rhetoric and spreading medical disinformation makes him an unsuitable candidate for this critical position.
Kennedy's long-standing opposition to vaccines, despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting their safety and efficacy, poses a significant threat to public health. His promotion of unfounded conspiracy theories, such as vaccines causing autism and COVID-19 being a bioweapon, undermines trust in essential health measures and endangers lives.
The role of the HHS Secretary requires a commitment to science-based policies and public health initiatives. Kennedy's track record demonstrates a disregard for these principles, which is particularly concerning given the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other public health threats.
I urge you to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination and support a candidate
