Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family members, including his sister Kerry and nephew Joseph P. Kennedy III, are demanding his resignation as Health and Human Services Secretary. Their calls follow a contentious Senate hearing where Kennedy defended controversial actions, including rolling back COVID-19 vaccine recommendations and firing CDC officials. The family criticizes Kennedy's leadership, deeming it a threat to public health. This isn't the first time the family has publicly opposed Kennedy's actions; they previously opposed his presidential bid and his nomination for the Secretary position.
