An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Fong

From: A verified voter in Bakersfield, CA

February 27, 2025

No sooner than being confirmed after “assuring” concerned members that he would NOT go after our access to life saving vaccines, we have RFK, Jr. canceling the meeting to determine which strains should be included in the next influenza vaccine. As you all should know, influenza vaccine production takes at least six months and we are losing the window to have an updated vaccine available ahead of flu season. In addition, he has made several factually incorrect and dangerous statements regarding the measles outbreak in Texas and has railed against measles vaccination in the past. A child has died. On top of this, we have avian flu impacting not only the price of eggs but the health and safety of people who work in the egg and dairy industries. Canada is releasing a vaccine for people at risk of exposure. But here? Crickets. YOU are the only people who have any authority to stop this madness. You FAILED to keep crackpot nominees out of cabinet positions. You’ve allowed Elon Musk to take a wrecking ball to the entire federal government. DO YOUR JOBS! You wanted to represent us so now DO SOMETHING!
