Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr., the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the wrong person to lead the top health agency in the country.
His radical agenda is threatening lives and making essential healthcare products far more expensive and difficult to access.
Since taking office, RFK Jr. has doubled down on discredited conspiracies about vaccines. He falsely claimed the measles vaccine hasn’t been safety tested – a falsehood contradicted by years of rigorous science. His rhetoric is sowing dangerous doubt about proven health treatments.
Under RFK Jr.’s watch, the U.S. is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 33 years. Rather than advocate for immunization, he irresponsibly promoted vitamin A as a treatment – resulting in children being hospitalized for overdoses. Tragically, multiple American children have already died from measles. If Secretary Kennedy continues to undermine vaccination, more lives will be at risk.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) sets the vaccine schedule that insurance companies use to provide coverage. While the Affordable Care Act went too far in mandating coverage of ACIP recommendations, the committee provides useful and scientifically-grounded information. But Kennedy fired the entire ACIP and replaced them with unqualified, anti-vaccine ideologues. If these new appointees refuse to recommend standard vaccines, Americans will pay the price and be sicker as a result.
Secretary Kennedy’s reckless policies and fringe appointees are already putting Americans’ health at risk. If left unchecked, he will make healthcare more expensive and less effective for everyone.
