Stop RFK Jr.’s Nomination to HHS
The Issue
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services presents a serious threat to people living with diabetes as well as public health for everyone because of his long history of spreading medical misinformation and undermining evidence-based healthcare. As HHS Secretary, he would lead the federal agencies responsible for medical research, healthcare access, and public health protection - despite having actively worked against these very missions by promoting conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine rhetoric. He has no relevant experience to lead HHS, and his appointment would threaten decades of progress in healthcare access, quality, and medical advancement. This makes it crucial for senators to block his nomination and protect the scientific integrity of our nation's health institutions.
The Script
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY]. I'm calling to strongly oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. As someone living with diabetes, I rely on evidence-based medicine and scientific research to manage my condition and stay alive. RFK Jr.'s long history of promoting medical misinformation and conspiracy theories poses a direct threat to diabetes care and research.
His appointment could undermine critical NIH research funding for diabetes treatments, threaten CDC public health guidance that helps people with diabetes make informed decisions, and potentially impact access to insulin and other life-saving medications through Medicare and Medicaid policy changes. This affects [NUMBER OF DIABETICS IN STATE] with diabetes that you represent in [STATE].
I urge Senator [NAME] to vote against his nomination. Can you please tell me how the Senator plans to vote on this matter?
