Live Poll in Progress
“Thousands of US health agency workers laid off in overhaul led by RFK Jr.”
– The Guardian
RFK Jr.
John, participate in our poll before midnight:
Do you approve of RFK Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services?
YES
NO
UNSURE
John, known anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. is officially in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and more vital health institutions – but he’s far from qualified.
In fact, he’s dangerous – and we’re already seeing the consequences of his leadership:
While a measles outbreak surged, RFK Jr. promoted misinformation about the disease on Fox News.
The FDA’s top vaccine official RESIGNED last week in protest of RFK Jr.’s “misinformation and lies.”
A lawsuit against RFK Jr. was filed by 23 states after the department rolled back $11 BILLION in public health funding – hurting urgent public health needs and critical grants for cancer and disease research.
And yesterday, HHS began firing 10,000 full-time employees. 10,000 more will be pushed out, reducing the agency by one-third. This includes staff working on disease outbreaks, approving new drugs, providing insurance for the poorest Americans, and more!
RFK Jr. has wasted NO time using his position to overhaul years of critical research and public services in favor of his dangerous conspiracy theories, John – and with these layoffs, there are even fewer scientists standing in his way.
Now, we’re asking Democrats nationwide to tell us how they feel about RFK Jr.’s record so far. Will you represent 19125 and tell us now:
Do you approve of RFK Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services?
YES
NO
UNSURE
