Summary

Caroline Kennedy urged senators to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, calling him a “predator” unfit for the role.

In a letter, Kennedy accused her cousin of troubling behavior, including a past fascination with violence and drug use, and criticized his lack of relevant experience.

She also condemned his anti-vaccine activism as dangerous and hypocritical, noting he vaccinated his own children while discouraging others from doing so.

RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

    The way I see it from the comfort of a country with universal health care: RFK will be the new Secretary of Health, kids will die of measles and polio and thoughts and prayers will be sent.

    The fallout of anti-vaxxing will overburden the healthcare system and affect everyone. People will die and it will be nobody’s fault.
