WASHINGTON, DC – This week, The New York Times reported on RFK’s increasingly dangerous actions as the supposed leader of the American people’s health and wellbeing in two blistering articles.

Dr. Fiona Havers, a CDC expert who worked there for 13 years, resigned from her role as senior adviser on vaccine policy because she could no longer continue while RFK dismantled the careful processes that help formulate vaccination standards in the United States. She did not mince words when she asserted, “If it isn’t stopped, and some of this isn’t reversed, like, immediately, a lot of Americans are going to die as a result of vaccine-preventable diseases.”

Just last week, RFK fired all 17 members on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) which plays a key role in determining which vaccines children and adults receive, what gets covered by insurance, and which shots are made available free of charge to millions of low-income children. 

University of Pennsylvania vaccinologist Dr. Paul Offit, a former member of the ACIP and a co-creator of the rotavirus vaccine, was exceedingly blunt when he said, “I think he is about to destroy vaccines in this country. I do.”

Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement: 

“Americans shouldn’t have to die because of RFK’s dangerous conspiracy theories. The greatest thing he can do to make America healthy again is resign.”
