RFK Jr. Confirmation 1-Year On: Sen. Wyden, Dr. Emanuel, Rep. Schrier M.D. to Spotlight Trump Health Secretary’s Worst Public Health Failures

Tuesday, February 10th @ 10:30 AM ET

Ahead of the one-year anniversary that the U.S. Senate narrowly confirmed anti-vax profiteer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Trump HHS Secretary, Protect Our Care and 314 Action will host a virtual press conference on Tuesday, February 10th @ 10:30 AM ET with  Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D., Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, and Dr. Georges Benjamin, M.D. to detail Kennedy’s most reckless and dangerous actions against our public health to date. 

Ahead of the event, Protect Our Care released a new report, 'Public Health Enemy #1". 
 
Among the lowlights on RFK Jr.’s failing report card: gutted the CDC, science and innovation; put children’s health and lives at risk by downgrading the U.S. child vaccine schedule; ignoring the worst measles outbreak in decades while continuing to spread anti-vax propaganda that caused it; and packed federal health advisory boards with anti-vaccine activists while recklessly pursuing widely discredited autism-vaccine link. Feb. 10th is also the deadline for the health secretary to respond to a letter from key lawmakers raising concerns on RFK Jr.'s ties to vaccine injury lawsuits and if his family and associates will profit from planned changes to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Hear from:      

•  Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)
• U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D.
• Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
• Shaughnessy Naughton, President, 314 Action 
• Dr. Georges Benjamin, Executive Director, APHA
• Brad Woodhouse, President, Protect Our Care
