Reject anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. as Health Secretary
To: Sen. Budd, Sen. Tillis
From: A verified voter in Charlotte, NC
January 10
I urge you not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary. His long history of promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and denouncing proven public health measures is deeply concerning. We need leadership guided by science and facts, not ideology that disregards expert consensus. Look to Florida's experience with Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo as a cautionary tale - his fringe views have eroded public trust, disrupted disease prevention efforts, and enabled preventable outbreaks. Nominating someone like RFK Jr. who rejects mainstream medicine poses a severe risk to the nation's public health infrastructure and pandemic preparedness. For the wellbeing of all Americans, I implore you to reject this dangerously unqualified nominee and choose someone committed to following evidence-based policies and guidance from respected medical authorities. Elevating conspiracy theorists to lead health agencies jeopardizes lives and scientific integrity.
