Family Members Call for RFK Jr. to Step Down as Health Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces bipartisan criticism for altering COVID-19 vaccine policies, firing CDC leaders, and causing thousands of layoffs in federal health agencies, medical groups say.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared before the Senate Finance Committee this past week and faced bipartisan questioning about his leadership as Health Secretary.
- His hearing came after seven months during which he advanced his long-held anti-vaccine agenda, leading to major reforms within federal public health organizations and the adjustment of vaccine policies.
- Kennedy justified his decision to scale back COVID-19 vaccine guidelines and dismiss senior CDC personnel during a lengthy Senate hearing that prompted relatives to urge his resignation.
- Kennedy’s sister Kerry and nephew Joseph P. Kennedy III described him as a danger to public health, with Joseph expressing on X that he poses a risk to the safety and welfare of all Americans.
- These demands reflect serious concerns about his leadership failures, which have led to thousands of layoffs, remaking of vaccine policies, and responses from medical groups and states.
