77 Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Reject Trump's Health Secretary Pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Dec 10, 2024, 01:08 AM
Seventy-seven Nobel Prize laureates have signed an open letter urging the U.S. Senate to reject the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for the position, is known for his anti-vaccine stance, lack of credentials, and promotion of conspiracy theories, which the laureates argue pose a risk to public health. Dr. Richard Roberts, one of the signatories, stated, "These political attacks on science are very damaging. You have to stand up and protect it." The collective opposition by the Nobel laureates marks a rare instance of unified dissent against a Cabinet nominee.
