Vote No on RFK Jr for HHS!

As a person who understands science and evidence-based medicine, I ask you to vote “no” in the confirmation hearing of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the head of Health and Human Services. Medical professionals spend countless hours studying cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, virology, pathology, and immunology so that they may fully grasp biomedical science. Additionally, they learn statistics so they may learn to prudently discern which data has statistical significance, validity and power to give us relevant information. Mr. Kennedy has none of those skills Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. has a history of pseudo-medical claims that are not backed by high-quality evidence. His choice to disparage vaccines will promote vaccine hesitancy, which puts us all at higher risk for mortality and morbidity from vaccine-preventable illness, as happened in Samoa as a result of his anti-vaccine campaign there. Again, I ask you to vote “no” to the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the head of Health and Human Services or anything else in the US government.
