I vehemently oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy is a prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who has spread dangerous misinformation about vaccine safety and efficacy for years. Appointing him to lead a crucial public health agency would undermine trust in vital vaccination programs and threaten public health. It is extremely concerning that he plans to overhaul agencies like the FDA and NIH by removing career scientists and installing his own handpicked staff. Kennedy's fringe views on issues like fluoride and holistic medicine signal he would pursue an unscientific, ideology-driven agenda detrimental to public health rather than following evidence-based policies. I urge you to reject this alarming nomination that would jeopardize the nation's health and prioritize conspiracy theories over scientific consensus. Kennedy's confirmation would severely damage the credibility and efficacy of the Department of Health and Human Services.
