Since being confirmed as HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. has fired career experts and seasoned scientists, replaced members on independent advisory committees with vaccine skeptics and ideological extremists, and canceled all research funding for mRNA based vaccines. Despite the fact the CDC’s own experts estimate the vaccine has saved at least 3.2 million lives in the United States alone, Kennedy claimed credit for the Food and Drug Administration’s decertification of the Covid-19 vaccine for almost all people under the age of 65. The few people under 65 who would in theory still qualify for the vaccine would have to have it approved by an advisory panel Kennedy has stacked with Covid vaccine opponents. Now, when Susan Monarez, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), refused to resign or step down after RFK Jr. attempted to force her to sign off on even more sweeping changes to US vaccine policies, RFK Jr. had Trump fire her. Since then at least four other top officials at the CDC have resigned in protest. Secretary Kennedy isn’t just weaponizing public health for political gain, he’s putting millions of American lives at risk. Congress cannot still idle as RFK Jr. destroys our nation’s health system and pandemic preparedness to serve his extremist views. I ask you to publicly pressure Kennedy to resign, urge Trump to fire him, and call for impeachment proceedings immediately. You must take every action possible to remove Kennedy from his position in order to protect the health of America and the world.
