In a letter initiated by the Committee to Protect Health Care, over 17,000 physicians have requested the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The doctors express concerns regarding Kennedy's controversial stance on vaccines and public health, asserting that his leadership would undermine the integrity of the public health system. They cite previous instances of misinformation, particularly a measles outbreak linked to his actions. With confirmation proceedings pending, the letter emphasizes the urgency for qualified leadership prioritizing science-based healthcare.
