Vote No on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearing

I am writing to urge you to vote no on the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, especially given his dangerous views on vaccines and public health. As a concerned citizen, I believe his continued promotion of misinformation about vaccines is harmful to the public's well-being and contradicts decades of scientific evidence. Kennedy's vocal stance against vaccines has contributed to a growing anti-vaccine movement that has already led to outbreaks of preventable diseases in communities across the country. In a time when the world is still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot afford to allow an individual with a track record of undermining public health to hold any position of influence. His claims, such as linking vaccines to autism and promoting unfounded fears, are not supported by credible scientific research. In fact, multiple comprehensive studies have shown that vaccines are safe, effective, and crucial to protecting public health. By continuing to promote these harmful myths, Kennedy not only endangers individual lives but also undermines trust in the public health system, which is critical for addressing future health crises. As you consider his confirmation, I urge you to think of the millions of families who rely on vaccines to protect their children and communities from life-threatening diseases. We must ensure that positions of public responsibility are held by individuals who prioritize science, evidence-based policy, and the collective good of all Americans. Thank you for your time and consideration. I trust you will take these concerns seriously and vote against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation.
