(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – Donald Trump’s team’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services has ignited outrage among health professionals as 15,000 doctors opposed to such a choice due to RFK’s incapability for the role.
Through the Committee to Protect Health Care, these health professionals have penned a letter denouncing Kennedy’s nomination due to his history of promoting anti-vaccine views and conspiracy theories.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is notorious for challenging established science with misleading information.
His assertions on vaccines and claims about school shootings and antidepressants have drawn substantial criticism.
The protest letter raises a significant issue regarding the crucial role of leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
It emphasizes that the health of 336 million Americans requires leaders who prioritize science and evidence-based medicine.
The Committee to Protect Health Care said in a statement:
“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. RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.”
The appointment has prompted responses from several advocacy groups, such as Community Catalyst and Public Citizen, which deem Kennedy’s potential leadership dangerous.
This reaction underscores the widening rift between Kennedy’s supporters and opponents regarding modern healthcare approaches.
Kennedy’s nomination is also met with opposition from prominent political figures. Democrat lawmakers, including Senator Chris Murphy, have openly criticized Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance.
“When vaccine rates drop because of RFK Jr.’s conspiracy spreading – kids get killed,” he warned.
Moreover, RFK Jr. continues to meet with senators amid the storm of dissent, anticipating an unscheduled confirmation hearing.
Despite the strong pushback from healthcare professionals, the ultimate decision will rest in the Senate’s hands.
Nevertheless, Kennedy’s spokesperson dismissed the mounting opposition as merely a fundraising opportunity for advocacy groups.
Dissenters argue that appointing Kennedy could undermine public health advancements.
While his supporters claim opposition stems from pharmaceutical influence, credible sources emphasize the danger his leadership could pose.
Groups like Protect Our Care are making a concerted effort to highlight Kennedy’s controversial role in a measles outbreak in Samoa.
This initiative prompts healthcare professionals nationwide to contact their senators and influential organizations, attempting to block Kennedy’s confirmation.
As the confirmation process unfolds, Kennedy’s appointment could significantly shift how public health is approached in America.
His willingness to question established narratives and challenge powerful interests aligns with President Trump’s promise to put American families first and break the stranglehold of special interests on the healthcare system.
