An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Fire RFK Jr. Before He Dismantles the USPSTF & Puts Lives at Risk

41 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I urgently demand Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s removal as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His reported plan to fire all 16 members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) isn’t just misguided; it poses a real danger to our health and well-being. For decades, this esteemed panel has been at the forefront of national standards for cancer screenings, HIV prevention, and heart disease care, playing a crucial role in saving countless lives. Medical experts nationwide, including the American Medical Association and frontline doctors, are sounding the alarm. They’re not just bureaucrats; they are dedicated professionals who spend their lives caring for patients and understanding what truly works in healthcare. Ignoring their voices is not only disrespectful—it’s deadly. This situation goes beyond a simple policy disagreement; it’s a direct attack on the very foundation of public health. We risk allowing misinformation to seep into our healthcare system by removing seasoned scientists and replacing them with loyalists. Cancer, heart disease, and mental health issues don’t take political sides. When we strip away the expertise that guides our health policies, real people will suffer and die. Remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position and restore qualified doctors, scientists, and public health leaders to the Department of Health and Human Services. Let’s bring back the truth and evidence that should guide the health of millions of Americans. Our lives and future depend on it.
