77 Nobel Laureates Call RFK Jr.'s HHS Nomination a Public Health Threat
Dec 9, 2024, 10:44 PM
Over 77 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging U.S. senators to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President-elect Donald Trump. The laureates expressed concerns about Kennedy's potential impact on public health and science, describing his confirmation as a 'threat' and a 'public health threat.' This collective action marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have united against a Cabinet nominee. Dr. Richard Roberts, a Nobel laureate, emphasized the importance of standing up to protect science, calling the nomination a 'political attack on science.'
