Dear Friend,
“I’m horrified and perplexed by the many ways Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has broken with evidence-based scientific
practices, putting families’ health at risk. I know all too well these
policies can have life-or-death consequences.” - Jean, Maryland Mom

What’s happening? Since becoming U.S. Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken dangerous
steps to sow vaccine mistrust and also to take away people’s access to
life-saving vaccines. His actions are confusing parents, breaking trust,
and creating a vaccine policy mess across states, which is putting public
health at risk. [1]
For instance, under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, HHS has taken a series
of reckless actions that promote vaccine misinformation. Just one example
is that Kennedy fired the entire panel of the CDC Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP), and replaced them with his personal picks,
including some with a history of spreading vaccine misinformation. [ [link removed] ] The
new group then held a hearing where it ignored data and analyses presented
by the CDC about the safety of the flu vaccine, and instead cited debunked
studies to call into doubt flu vaccine safety. The situation is so bad
that a top doctor from the American Academy of Pediatrics described the
hearing as part of “an orchestrated effort to sow distrust in
immunizations and the vaccine approval process.” [ [link removed] ]
THIS IS SO NOT OK! Our families deserve better. Health policy should be
guided by science, not personal agendas.

Unfortunately, it gets worse. Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, the
new committee also changed the recommendations for the COVID vaccine—again
not based on science. For example, the CDC no longer recommends the COVID
vaccine during pregnancy, even though research shows it’s safe and helps
prevent adverse outcomes, including premature birth or infant deaths. [ [link removed] ]
They also stopped recommending the vaccine for most kids, even though it’s
proven to safely protect against serious illness.
These changes make it harder for families to get the COVID vaccine, and
will increase costs since insurers are no longer required to cover people
outside of CDC’s now very narrow non-science-based new recommendations. It
also strips families of their choice to vaccinate as these barriers become
harder to overcome.

Dear President Trump and U.S. Senators,
As parents and caregivers, we depend on strong, science-based health
policies to protect our families and communities. Since becoming U.S.
Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. has spread misinformation about the scientific data related
to vaccines and weakened access to life-saving immunizations—including
for pregnant women and children.
These reckless actions are creating confusion, making it harder for
families to get the care they need, and putting lives at risk. Health
policy should be guided by science, not personal agendas.
Secretary Kennedy must be removed from his position and replaced with
someone who has the necessary qualifications and scientific experience
to put our families’ health first!
