Aloha,

This week Governor Josh Green traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. Senators, warning against the appointment of RFK Jr. as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
 
"If Mr. Kennedy is confirmed as secretary of Health and Human Services,” Governor Green said, "there is a real danger that he will continue to spread misinformation about vaccines, potentially causing vaccination rates to fall and leading to preventable deaths. We can’t allow that to happen.”

On Tuesday, Governor Green published a guest essay in the New York Times detailing his firsthand experience during the 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, where he witnessed the deadly consequences of vaccine misinformation spread by RFK Jr. and others.

Josh also spoke with the Washington Post about his concerns over Kennedy’s nomination, and appeared on the CNN program Erin Burnett OutFront to warn against the potential risks of the appointment.

“Mr. Kennedy's claim that, ‘There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective' is not only false, but reckless, irresponsible, and dangerous,” Josh said. “This kind of misinformation undermines public confidence in vaccines, and puts lives at risk."
