Most of us believe that one of government's fundamental responsibilities is keep us safe and secure.
That includes promoting good public health and protecting us from illnesses.
But Donald Trump's plan to let Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "go wild on health" will get people killed.
Kennedy is an outspoken conspiracy theorist.
He wants to make policies based on misinformation like vaccines causing autism and fluoridation in the water having a negative impact on health and advocates for risky behavior such as drinking raw milk and treating COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine.
His anti-vax lies are allegedly linked to at least 83 deaths from a measles outbreak in Samoa. His anti-safe milk stance is particularly alarming in light of the growing threat of bird flu.
In addition, he has been accused of sexual assault.
More than 75 Nobel laureates are urging the Senate to reject Kennedy, saying he will put public health in jeopardy, and the public sharply disagrees with his views and trusts him substantially less than Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Please let your senators know that this appointment must be blocked at all costs, before ordinary Americans start to pay the price -- with their lives!
