We the people demand the immediate removal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as HHS Secretary. His planned report linking Tylenol to autism directly contradicts decades of peer-reviewed research and medical consensus. The American Academy of Pediatrics, CDC, and multiple studies have found no credible connection between acetaminophen and autism. When our nation's top health official promotes debunked theories, parents lose trust in legitimate medical guidance and may withhold safe medications from sick children. Kennedy's anti-vaccine activism has already caused measurable harm. Florida's relaxed vaccine requirements for schools demonstrate the dangerous ripple effects of his influence. Before widespread vaccination, measles killed over 400 Americans annually and left thousands with permanent disabilities. Polio paralyzed 15,000 children each year. These diseases didn't disappear by accident—vaccines eliminated them. Parents who refuse vaccination shouldn't be allowed to endanger others in schools, on airplanes, or in public spaces where their choices put vulnerable populations at risk. Critical health agencies like the CDC and USPSTF must be led by qualified scientists and doctors, not conspiracy theorists. These panels determine vaccine schedules that protect millions and screening guidelines that save lives. When unqualified leadership undermines evidence-based recommendations, preventable diseases return. We're already seeing measles outbreaks in communities with low vaccination rates—a direct result of the misinformation Kennedy has spent years spreading. Public health depends on scientific integrity, not personal beliefs contradicted by evidence. I urge you to support Kennedy's removal and demand that HHS leadership return to qualified medical professionals who prioritize data over ideology.
