As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of @HHSGov Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (@seckennedy) to ensure the health of the American people.

The measles vaccine is proven to work. It has saved millions of lives. That’s an undeniable fact, no matter what anyone says.
The ‘treatments’ repeatedly touted by RFK Jr—budesonide, clarithromycin, and cod liver oil—do not. No matter what anyone like him says.
EVEN IF we developed a foolproof measles treatment, it STILL would be MUCH better to vaccinate against measles than treat it.
Why?
The vaccine not only prevents death…
It also prevents spread to others, including vulnerable infants too young to get vaccinated and at highest risk of complications from measles.
The vaccine also prevents ‘immune amnesia’, a dangerous side effect of measles infection that can wipe your immune system for years and make you much more vulnerable to other infections.
It’s simple—if everyone was vaccinated, we wouldn’t need new flashy treatments.
So, RFK Jr—let’s stop undermining the critical and life-saving value of vaccines…it would save way more lives.
This time five years ago, the virus that causes COVID-19 was spreading around the globe unchecked.
One of the biggest questions that remains is: where did it come from?

The energy, intensity and endurance has been phenomenal.
Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying this day in Buffalo.
Touché Bills Mafia, Touché.
