I urge you to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As a prominent vaccine skeptic who denies the safety of vaccines and argues chronic diseases are caused by environmental factors like fluoridated water, Kennedy lacks the scientific credibility to oversee agencies responsible for approving drugs, responding to public health threats, and administering vital programs like Medicare and Medicaid. His fringe views endanger public health and could set back medical research and innovation. An HHS Secretary should prioritize evidence-based policymaking, not unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. I implore you to thoroughly vet Kennedy and ultimately block this disastrous nomination that threatens the well-being of millions of Americans.
