Vaccines save lives.
 

Roy Cooper for North Carolina

John, it’s in the national interest to keep the American people healthy. Moreover, it’s the duty of every public official to help keep our people safe.

The Trump Administration is already failing in that duty.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy recently cut $500 million in vaccine development projects — threatening research into a cutting-edge technology being explored for cancer treatment.

This is a dangerous political stunt, John. The far-right has long stoked conspiracy theories about vaccines and other public health matters, and national Republicans have decided to play into them.

The swift development of vaccines is a lifesaver and a miracle of science. We know that vaccines have saved millions of lives from infectious diseases like polio and measles. The Trump Administration’s decision to gut vaccine research is shortsighted and dangerous.

I’m asking the Trump Administration to reconsider their decision on vaccine development, and I need you to stand with me. Please add your name to our petition here >>>
