Public health is a crucial part of our everyday lives, yet it’s experiencing a shrinking workforce, underfunding and eroded public trust. This must change, says APHA Exec Board Chair Moose Alperin in a new health care careers supplement: https://t.co/KrsdpI8k9g

BREAKING: Scientists are bracing for major changes in the direction of US biomedical research as Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who has promoted vaccine misinformation and public-health conspiracies, gains control over a vast swathe of science policy.

APHA is disappointed, but not surprised, by the Senate’s decision to confirm RFK Jr. to lead HHS. It is our hope that he stands on what he promised during his testimony and prioritizes making America healthier, rather than sowing distrust.

Associations between alcohol consumption and cancer are scientifically well established, but the public are often unaware of the links.

Should alcohol carry cancer warning labels?

“I, after this hearing, did not have confidence that Mr. Kennedy would be the one to lead us to a better future,” Sen. Peter Welch said. #vtpoli https://t.co/EboI6jlgUp

[AJPH @AMJPublicHealth]

Vaccine uptake during pregnancy varies by insurance: COVID-19 (43% private vs. 11.8% public), flu (33.2% vs. 14.2%), and pertussis (70.3% vs. 42.8%). Only 6.8% (private) and 1.1% (public) got all 3. Addressing barriers for Medicaid enrollees is key.

[Senator Peter Welch @SenPeterWelch]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn't have the right experience, character, or priorities to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

I voted against advancing his nomination out of the Finance Committee.

[Vermont Public Health Association @VTPublicHealth]

Thank you Senator Sanders.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

[Vermont Public Health Association @VTPublicHealth]

Disappointing vote coming from the US Senate Finance Committee. 14 of 27 Senators voted to move RFK Jr. nomination for HHS Secretary to the full Senate for a vote.

[Vermont Public Health Association @VTPublicHealth]

Why don't we let health experts determine what information will help benefit public health? https://t.co/bjaLefNSWr

[Vermont Public Health Association @VTPublicHealth]

Closely watching US Senator Finance Comm vote on RFK Jr. today. #VT #Publichealth - @SenSanders @SenPeterWelch are both on this committee. For more federal #publichealth news from @PublicHealth, see: https://t.co/AqtBFvtqNL
