77 Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Reject RFK Jr.’s HHS Nomination
Seventy-seven Nobel laureates condemned President-elect Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), citing Kennedy’s promotion of anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories as jeopardizing public health. The letter highlighted Kennedy’s opposition to numerous health initiatives and his attacks on respected health agencies. The Trump transition team dismissed the Nobel laureates’ concerns, defending Kennedy’s appointment. Kennedy’s nomination sparked widespread criticism from Democrats, while many Republicans remained silent.
