I firmly believe that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks the qualifications and expertise to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His long history of promoting debunked claims about vaccines and autism is deeply concerning and could endanger public health. While he states support for the polio vaccine, his overall stance on immunizations is alarming and threatens hard-won progress against preventable diseases. The FDA's rigorous approval process for vaccines like the polio shot must be safeguarded to protect vulnerable populations. Appointing someone with Kennedy's anti-vaccine views to lead HHS would be a reckless decision that could undermine faith in lifesaving inoculations and cost many lives. I urge reconsideration of this nominee whose fringe beliefs put our nation's health at risk.
