Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks the necessary scientific background and qualifications to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As an outspoken opponent of life-saving vaccines and promoter of unproven and potentially dangerous health products, his leadership would undermine public health efforts and jeopardize the wellbeing of millions of Americans. Kennedy has even threatened to cut staffing at critical agencies like the FDA and NIH. Respected medical organizations, including the American Public Health Association and thousands of doctors, have voiced strong opposition to his nomination due to the severe risks he poses. We cannot afford to have someone who peddles anti-science conspiracy theories in charge of the world's largest public health agency during this crucial time. I urge you to reject Kennedy's nomination and protect the integrity of HHS and its vital work safeguarding public health.
