Nobel Prize Winners Call On Senate To Reject RFK Jr. Nomination
More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have sent a letter to the United States Senate urging Senators to reject the nomination of RFK Jr. to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The letter, which was first reported by the New York Times, highlights concerns the Nobel laureates have with Kennedy's lack of "relevant experience" along with many of the anti-science positions he has taken.
The letter read, in part:
In addition to his lack of credentials or relevant experience in medicine, science, public health, or administration, Mr. Kennedy has been an opponent of many health-protecting and life-saving vaccines, such as those that prevent measles and polio; a critic of the well-established positive effects of fluoridation of drinking water; a promoter of conspiracy theories about remarkably successful treatments for AIDS and other diseases; and a belligerent critic of respected agencies (especially the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and the National Institutes of Health)"
The Nobel laureates who signed onto this letter won Nobel Prizes in medicine, chemistry, physics, and economics.
