"Today the six surgeons general appointed since George H. W. Bush was president penned an opinion piece in the Washington Post calling for the removal of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

 

“We are compelled to speak with one voice to say that the actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation,” they wrote. “Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

 

The op-ed by Jerome Adams, MD, Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, Joycelyn Elders, MD, Vivek Murthy, MD, Antonia Novello, MD, MPH, and David Satcher, MD, PhD,  said Kennedy has created a crisis in the nation’s public health system and health agencies, which is resulting in mass resignations, short staffing, a resurgence of infectious diseases, and worsening chronic illnesses. 

 

As HHS secretary, Kennedy has a $2 trillion budget and helms Medicare, Medicaid, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and other agencies that each American uses, the doctors wrote. The opinion piece warns that under Kennedy more childhood vaccines will be in jeopardy, including newborn hepatitis B, which was the subject of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) September meeting.

Good for Kennedy. Good for the children. Very good for the babes.

 

A small step for the common sense health of the nation.
