It is terrifying that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his hand-picked followers are ripping up decades of public health advances by undermining access to immunizations. As an emergency physician, I never thought I would see this day.

But as our only physician-legislator, I won't stand by silently as RFK, Jr. threatens the health of my family, my neighbors, all Pennsylvanians, and all Americans.

Today, my legislation, HB 1881, to protect vaccine access through pharmacies in Pennsylvania passed the State House. Coupled with my previously passed legislation, HB 1828, to protect insurance coverage of vaccines, we are positioned in Pennsylvania to advance public health now and into the future.

I cannot do this alone. My ability to stand in the breach only happens with your support. Can you contribute what you can to help me continue to fight for our public health?

Together, we can stand in the breach and prevent RFK, Jr. from threatening our health and future.

Sincerely,

Rep. Arvind Venkat, MD
