I urge you not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Decades of scientific research have conclusively proven there is no link between vaccines and autism. Kennedy has spread dangerous misinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines, falsely claiming they are unsafe and ineffective. Appointing someone who rejects established medical facts and science could undermine public trust in vaccines and put lives at risk. As health secretary, Kennedy could defund critical research into infectious diseases and impede efforts to promote widespread vaccination against preventable illnesses. His fringe views are at odds with the overwhelming scientific consensus and should disqualify him from this vital public health role. Please stand up for scientific integrity and evidence-based policymaking by rejecting this controversial and unfit nominee.
