“The agency responsible for protecting the health of hundreds of millions of Americans should be led by respected scientists, physicians, and watchdogs, not by witches and conspiracy theorists,” said Naughton.
“It comes as no surprise the president who recommended bleaching our lungs would nominate an equally irresponsible conspiracy theorist to lead Health and Human Services and turn back the clock to the 1700’s when it comes to science, medical advancements and the health and safety of the American people. Families are living longer and healthier lives because of modern advancements in medicine—ones that RFK, Jr. wants to roll back and replace with hocus pocus and witchcraft.”
“It’s unfathomable to appoint someone to lead our nation’s premier health agency whose record is spotty at best with regards to public health policy, and someone who wants to replace medical advancements with dangerous pseudoscience found in sci-fi movies. This nomination is cruel and a giant step back for our nation. At 314 Action, we will do everything in our power to oppose his nomination and fight with every ounce of our energy in order to keep the American public safe.”
“The GOP’s anti-science agenda is continuing to harm our public health and well-being. We will not back down because the stakes are too high. We will continue to lead the fight to ensure that lawmakers use science, facts, and data to make public policy decisions in order to best safeguard our nation.”
