Doctors across the country are coming together, asking senators to vote against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as President-elect Donald Trump’s top health official. More than 17,000 doctors signed a letter, initiated by the physicians advocacy group Committee to Protect Health Care, supporting the movement against Kennedy becoming the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The letter cites his controversial views on several hot button topics, including vaccines and disproven treatments for COVID-19.
“The health and well-being of 336 million Americans depend on leadership at HHS that prioritizes science, evidence-based medicine, and strengthening the integrity of our public health system,” the letter states. “RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.”
While his views often draw criticism, he gets support from groups who see him as a champion for health freedom, and an advocate for questioning public health safety with his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.
