77 Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Reject Trump's HHS Secretary Pick RFK Jr. Over Public Health Concerns
Dec 10, 2024, 01:46 AM
More than 75 Nobel Prize winners, specifically 77 laureates, have signed an open letter urging U.S. senators to reject the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This unprecedented move by the Nobel laureates marks the first time in recent memory that such a group has collectively opposed a Cabinet nominee. The letter highlights Kennedy's lack of credentials and his anti-vaccine beliefs as reasons for their opposition, warning that his appointment could jeopardize public health and undermine U.S. leadership in health sciences.
