I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over the actions of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). His tenure has been marked by a dangerous assault on public health and scientific integrity that demands immediate action. I urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings against Secretary Kennedy without delay.
Secretary Kennedy's promotion of vaccine denialism has severely undermined public trust in essential immunization programs. This reckless behavior has led to a resurgence of preventable diseases and put countless lives at risk. His statements have not only eroded confidence in vaccines but have also incited acts of violence against healthcare workers and researchers dedicated to protecting our communities.
The impact of Kennedy's actions extends far beyond vaccines. His leadership has crippled the effectiveness of critical health agencies and programs under HHS. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have all suffered from his interference with evidence-based policies and practices. This systematic dismantling of our public health infrastructure leaves us vulnerable to current and future health crises.
As your constituent, I implore you to take a stand for science, public health, and the safety of our communities. The impeachment of Secretary Kennedy is not just a matter of political disagreement; it is a necessary step to protect the health and well-being of all Americans. His continued presence at the helm of HHS represents an immediate and growing threat to public health.
Time is of the essence. Every day that Kennedy remains in office, more damage is done to our public health systems and the trust that underpins them. I urge you to act swiftly, working with your colleagues to initiate impeachment proceedings and remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Our nation's health and the integrity of our scientific institutions depend on your immediate action.
