Congress Must Fix RFK Jr.’s Public Health Disaster

RFK Jr.’s HHS is turning preventable outbreaks into a national emergency — and Congress needs to clean up the mess.

Measles has surged to its highest level in decades. Anti-vaccine lies and propaganda have weakened trust in basic science, left more communities exposed, and helped turn a disease the United States once eliminated into a growing threat again.

And measles is not the only warning sign. Outbreaks like the current spread of cyclosporiasis show why America needs a fully funded, fully staffed CDC that can detect disease, warn the public, coordinate recalls, support local health departments, and stop outbreaks before more families get sick.

Congress cannot wait for RFK Jr. to fix the damage he helped create. They must fund the CDC, rebuild America’s outbreak-response teams, protect scientists from political interference, and fight anti-vaccine lies with real public education.

Tell Congress: Fund the CDC, rebuild America’s outbreak defenses, and put science back in public health.

RFK Jr. spent years spreading dangerous vaccine misinformation. Now he is leading the nation’s health department while preventable diseases spread. It's a direct threat to families across the country.

We can't allow this crisis to get worse. Congress must demand answers, protect scientific experts, and require HHS to support vaccination, surveillance, foodborne outbreak response, and honest public education.

And if RFK Jr. blocks efforts to restore the CDC, Congress must hold him accountable. Families should not have to pay the price for one man’s anti-science agenda.

Add your name now to demand Congress fix RFK Jr.’s public health disaster before more preventable outbreaks spread.

The petition to Congress reads:

“Fully fund the CDC, rebuild America’s outbreak-response teams, protect public health experts from political interference, fight anti-vaccine lies with evidence-based education, and hold RFK Jr. accountable if he obstructs efforts to restore the CDC.”
