Reject Kennedy's anti-science HHS nomination endangering public health

I strongly urge you to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). His long history of spreading misinformation about vaccines and bizarre medical conspiracy theories is extremely concerning. A leader who denies basic scientific facts about HIV causing AIDS and claims vaccines are dangerous is unfit to oversee crucial public health agencies like the CDC and FDA. His views could erode public trust, undermine efforts to prevent and control infectious diseases, and reverse hard-won progress made through evidence-based policies. Furthermore, Kennedy's financial stake in lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers presents an alarming conflict of interest that calls into question his ability to regulate fairly and make impartial decisions. His stated desire to overhaul scientific research at agencies like the NIH by dismissing hundreds of experts also raises red flags about potential political interference in science. Appointing someone with such radical anti-science views would send a chilling message and risk exacerbating health misinformation at a time when sound public health leadership is paramount. The American people deserve an HHS Secretary committed to following the best available data and evidence, not conspiracy theories that endanger lives. I implore you to put public health over fringe ideologies and flatly reject this nomination.
