Sanders Urges RFK Jr. to Step Down Amid Health Crisis
August 30, 2025 - 22:43
In a recent op-ed, Senator Bernie Sanders has voiced strong criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions regarding public health leadership. Sanders highlights Kennedy's controversial decision to fire key personnel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which he argues undermines the agency's ability to effectively respond to health crises.
Moreover, Sanders points to the dismantling of vaccine advisory boards as a significant setback for public health initiatives. He emphasizes that such moves could lead to a decline in vaccination rates and an increase in preventable diseases. The senator also raises alarms about the defunding of mRNA research, a crucial area that has shown promise in combating various infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
Sanders calls for a reevaluation of Kennedy's leadership, urging him to prioritize public health over personal agendas. The senator's remarks reflect a growing concern among health experts and advocates about the potential ramifications of these changes on the nation's health infrastructure.
