[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
We’re not going to sugarcoat it: We’re calling for the Secretary of Health
and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to resign – or be fired by the
president.
[ [link removed] ]It's time for RFK Jr. to go
Secretary Kennedy’s seven-month tenure at our nation’s highest public
health agency has been characterized by one disaster after another. It has
dangerously eroded public trust in the institutions that are so critical
for the health and safety of all Americans.
[ [link removed] ]It is time for him to go, so we’re hosting a national Zoom call to
discuss why – and what you can do about it. We’ll be joined by our friends
at Public Citizen and Defend Public Health, as well as other special
guests who are leading the fight to remove Secretary Kennedy. Click here

Kennedy has
just overseen a politically-motivated and extremely dangerous decision by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to limit updated Covid-19
vaccinations.
More than 1.2 million Americans have already died from Covid-19, and the
death toll would be far, far greater if the vital Covid-19 vaccine had not
likely saved tens of thousands of lives of people of all ages.
This decision alone, which symbolizes Secretary Kennedy’s hostility to
life saving vaccines, that was also evident in the fatal measles outbreak
earlier this year, is not only a major risk with the ongoing threat of
Covid and further mutations of the virus — it makes clear why his
leadership of our public health programs must end.
His recent actions are just the latest in a pattern of disregard for
science, public health, and the federal workers who keep this country safe
from multiple health threats.
Secretary Kennedy has:
* Tried to strip federal health workers of their collective bargaining
rights,
* Fired experts from CDC’s vaccine advisory committee and replaced them
with vaccine critics,
* Cancelled millions of dollars in research into mRNA vaccines,
* Spread lies about vaccines, and
* Limited public engagement in HHS rule-making.
Protecting public health requires collective action. And vaccines remain
one of the most powerful collective health tools we have. They protect all
of us, but especially our seniors, children, and our most vulnerable, as
well as frontline workers who don’t have the luxury to work from home when
emergencies arise.

the harm he has done in the role and what we all can do to protect our
health and safety. Please click here to RSVP now.
