Despite Party-Line Senate Finance Committee Vote, RFK Jr. Remains Dangerous and Unqualified to Lead HHS
Washington D.C. — The Senate Finance Committee voted this morning to advance RFK Jr.’s nomination to lead HHS on a party-line vote. In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
“This fight is not over. Not by a long shot. RFK Jr. is a dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine, and anti-public health grifter and conspiracy theorist whose radical views have preyed on parents and cost people their lives, and he would be an unmitigated disaster in any role related to public health. His refusal to accept settled science on vaccines and autism and his role in the deaths of 83 Samoans are utterly disqualifying. And the drip, drip, drip, of everything from million-dollar sexual misconduct payoffs to likely committing voter fraud shows beyond any doubt that RFK Jr. lacks the morals or ethics to assume any role in public life whatsoever. Every Senator will now have to weigh in, and we aren’t giving up on any vote.”
