Senate Republicans face a critical need to address the damaging appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services. His lack of medical training has contributed to a resurgence of measles across the U.S., with recent deaths attributed in part to public doubt about vaccines he has fostered. Despite data showing vaccine safety, Kennedy presents these issues as subjects of personal choice rather than public health. This approach has led to thousands of measles cases, particularly affecting children, highlighting the severe consequences of his influence.
Kennedy has helped bring a pox upon the country and until Republicans get serious about holding him accountable, more Americans will die.
The greatest danger in elevating him to HHS secretary was always that he would use his position to undermine public confidence in vaccines.
Kennedy downplayed the outbreak of measles, stating it was not unusual, and did not urge parents to vaccinate their children.
Because of the doubt Kennedy has been sowing about the safety of vaccines, the U.S. is in the midst of what is shaping up to be the worst measles outbreak since the early 1990s.
