Over 1,000 current and former Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees demand the resignation of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing his anti-vaccine stance and the ensuing chaos at the CDC. They accuse Kennedy of endangering public health by spreading misinformation and replacing qualified officials with political appointees. The letter highlights the resignations of several key CDC officials and criticizes Kennedy's promotion of discredited theories. Kennedy's actions have caused significant turmoil, including the firing of the CDC director and a recent attack on the CDC headquarters. The HHS employees contend that Kennedy's policies prioritize partisan politics over evidence-based science, jeopardizing the health of all Americans.
