Please do not vote to confirm RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary. Actual lives are at stake with this important decision.

He has also been clear that he “serves at the pleasure of the President” and will enact Trump’s viewpoints and priorities. As a special needs parent, I am terrified especially given Trump’s views that some people with disabilities should “die” due to the expense as stated about his nephew.

3. As HHS secretary he would oversee Medicare and Medicaid (the latter provides healthcare to 80 million Americans), the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health.

2. He is a conspiracy theorist with no medical training or expertise who has also claimed that HIV does not cause AIDS and that Lyme disease is a “military bioweapon” among many other dangerous views, the latter of which he admitted he has said in his confirmation hearing this week.

It cannot be understated how much of a threat RFK Jr. is to public health in our country.
Three things:
1. He believes there are “no effective or safe vaccines,” continues to push the widely discredited claim that vaccines cause autism, and profits as a “consultant” on anti-vaccine lawsuits.
