Senator Bernie Sanders has publicly stated that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the current Secretary of Health and Human Services, is jeopardizing the health of Americans now and in the future, and should step down from his position.
Despite the administration’s frequent calls to 'Make America Healthy Again,' Sanders argues that the actions taken by President Trump and Secretary Kennedy since taking office have been counterproductive to this goal.
Recently, Secretary Kennedy forced the resignation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s director after less than a month in office, reportedly due to her refusal to endorse his controversial policies. In the same week, four senior CDC officials resigned, with one revealing that Kennedy’s team pressured him to alter established studies to align with Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance. Sanders emphasizes that these developments contradict efforts to improve public health.
Kennedy has persisted in promoting anti-vaccine rhetoric and conspiracy theories that have been consistently refuted by medical experts and the scientific community.
It bears repeating in 2025 that vaccines are both safe and effective. This is not just an opinion but a firmly established consensus among healthcare professionals and researchers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, representing over 67,000 pediatricians nationwide, describes immunizations as one of the most significant public health achievements, responsible for preventing tens of thousands of deaths and millions of illnesses each year.
