  • Actively dangerous': 15,000 doctors sign letter begging Senate to reject RFK Jr for health secretary - Kennedy, among other controversies, has spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine

The article discusses a letter signed by over 15,000 doctors urging the U.S. Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s potential nomination for Health Secretary. The doctors describe Kennedy as "actively dangerous" due to his promotion of vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories, particularly around vaccines causing autism and his controversial statements regarding the ethnic targeting of the COVID-19 virus. They argue that his appointment would undermine public health efforts, especially in combating vaccine hesitancy, and could lead to significant setbacks in public health policy and trust in medical science. The letter emphasizes the need for a Health Secretary who supports evidence-based medicine and public health initiatives, highlighting the potential harm Kennedy's views could inflict on national health security.
