Public calls intensified for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign as health secretary after chaos across US health agencies. The White House fired Susan Monarez, CDC director, and four other top CDC officials resigned in protest after Monarez refused to act as a rubber stamp for Kennedy's policies. Kennedy continued longstanding anti-vaccine advocacy and promoted conspiracy theories rejected by scientific experts. He has claimed no vaccine is safe and effective, cited discredited experts with revoked licenses and retracted studies, and profited from sowing vaccine mistrust. As HHS head he used authority to launch a campaign against science, public health, and truth while healthcare problems persisted.
Despite the overwhelming opposition of the medical community, secretary Kennedy has continued his longstanding crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been rejected repeatedly by scientific experts, Sanders wrote. Against the overwhelming body of evidence within medicine and science, what are secretary Kennedy's views? He has absurdly claimed that there's no vaccine that is safe and effective' Who supports secretary Kennedy's views? Not credible scientists and doctors.
The reality is that secretary Kennedy has profited from and built a career on sowing mistrust in vaccines. Now, as head of [the Department of Health and Human Services] he is using his authority to launch a full-blown war on science, on public health and on truth itself. Pointing to what he described as our broken health care system, Sanders said
