Summary

Over 15,000 doctors, through the Committee to Protect Health Care, urged the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services, citing his anti-vaccine advocacy, promotion of conspiracy theories, and lack of qualifications.

Critics, including Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, warn his leadership would endanger public health. Supporters claim opposition is driven by pharmaceutical interests.

Kennedy’s confirmation would require near-unanimous Republican support in the Senate.

Advocacy groups are campaigning against his appointment, emphasizing his alleged role in spreading misinformation during past public health crises.

    Sure, never said they were. But they ban alot of chemicals that are harmful and judging on health outcomes and obesity rates they seem to have it better.

      EU health and obesity rates have way more to do with urbanism than diet and health outcomes compared to the USA is such a useless comparison. America’s trying to kill you off the moment you get sick. Pay or die: yeah no wonder it’s such a shit show.
