Do not confirm RFK Jr for Sec HHS
To: Sen. Moreno, Sen. Husted
From: A constituent in Copley, OH
February 5
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully urge you to not confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services. While Mr. Kennedy has undoubtedly made contributions to public life, his views and actions regarding public health, particularly in the realm of vaccinations, raise significant concerns about his ability to lead the nation’s health policy effectively. Mr. Kennedy's outspoken and controversial stance on vaccines, which includes spreading unfounded claims about vaccine safety, has contributed to the erosion of public trust in essential immunization programs. In a time when the country is still grappling with the impacts of COVID-19 and facing growing challenges with vaccine misinformation, we need a Secretary who will support science-based policies to protect public health, not one who has publicly opposed the overwhelming consensus of the medical community. The role of Secretary of Health and Human Services requires a leader who understands the importance of evidence-based public health policies, prioritizes scientific integrity, and works to address public health crises with a clear, informed approach. Mr. Kennedy’s promotion of anti-vaccine rhetoric undermines these essential qualities and could have long-term negative consequences for the health of millions of Americans. In addition to his views on vaccination, Mr. Kennedy’s past associations and public statements have raised further doubts about his ability to serve as an effective and unbiased advocate for all Americans. At a time when public health and safety should be at the forefront of national leadership, I believe it is critical to appoint someone who can unite the nation around science-driven solutions and policy decisions. I urge you to consider the impact of this appointment carefully and to prioritize the health and safety of the American people by rejecting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination. Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter.
