Washington, D.C. –U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, sent Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary-Nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a 34-page letter detailing her concerns with his nomination. She asked RFK Jr. to answer 175 questions ahead of his committee nomination hearing before the Finance Committee.
“Given your dangerous views on vaccine safety and public health, including your baseless opposition to vaccines, and your inconsistent statements in important policy areas like reproductive rights access, I have serious concerns regarding your ability to oversee the Department,”wrote Senator Warren.
Senator Warren’s questions fell into the following categories:
“HHS’ programs and services impact the lives of millions of Americans every day. The agency deserves a strong and capable leader who protects the health of all Americans and provides essential human services,”concluded the senator.“The leader of HHS must be a strong believer in the scientific process, and their core mission must be protecting American lives, rather than flouting baseless theories or stripping away rights that put those very lives at risk.”
