77 Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Reject Trump's Nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary
Dec 9, 2024, 11:55 PM
President-elect Donald Trump announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and investigate potential links between childhood vaccines and autism. The decision has sparked controversy due to Kennedy's known anti-vaccine stance. In response, 77 Nobel Prize winners have signed an open letter urging the Senate not to confirm Kennedy's nomination, citing his "lack of credentials or relevant experience in medicine, science, public health, or administration" and warning that his appointment could jeopardize public health and undermine U.S. leadership in health sciences.
