Urgent Action Needed on Measles Crisis and Support for Impeachment Resolution

I’ll help you create a more professional version of this letter. Let me fetch the current content first.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I am writing to express grave concern about the current measles epidemic and to urge your support for Representative Haley Stevens’ articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The data is alarming: measles cases have increased by over 14,000 percent since 2020, with over 19,000 cases reported this year alone. The United States was previously on the verge of eliminating measles entirely. This regression represents a profound public health failure with devastating consequences—measles can cause permanent brain damage, intellectual disability, deafness, infertility, and death. It also compromises immunity to other diseases and spreads far more readily than COVID-19. By confirming Mr. Kennedy’s appointment despite his well-documented opposition to evidence-based vaccination policy, Congress bears responsibility for this crisis. His current proposal to make the hepatitis B vaccine optional for infants threatens to increase infant mortality and adult liver disease rates significantly. I urge you to: 1. Support Representative Stevens’ impeachment articles 1. Use your public platform to encourage vaccine uptake 1. Leverage all available mechanisms to fund and promote childhood vaccination programs This epidemic represents a failure of leadership with life-threatening consequences. Our nation’s health outcomes lag behind many countries that spend far less on healthcare—this is unacceptable and preventable. I expect my elected officials to prioritize constituent health over political expediency. The current trajectory demands immediate corrective action.
