Bernie Sanders Calls for RFK Jr’s Resignation as Health Secretary

Blue Press Journal – In a scathing op-ed published in the New York Times, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has demanded that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. step down as the US Health Secretary, citing his “dangerous” policies that are “endangering the health of the American people.” Sanders’ call for Kennedy’s resignation comes amid growing public outcry and chaos within US health agencies.

According to Sanders, the Trump administration’s actions under Kennedy’s leadership have been detrimental to the nation’s health, despite their slogan of “Make America Healthy Again.” The senator pointed to the recent firing of Susan Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the subsequent resignation of four other top CDC officials in protest. These officials reportedly refused to support Kennedy’s “dangerous policies,” which have been widely criticized by the medical community.

Sanders criticized Kennedy’s long-standing crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been repeatedly rejected by scientific experts. The senator argued that Kennedy’s actions will make it more difficult for Americans to access lifesaving vaccines, exacerbating the nation’s already “broken healthcare system.”

The controversy surrounding Kennedy’s leadership has raised concerns among healthcare professionals and the public. As the head of the US health department, his policies impact the nation’s health. Sanders’ call for his resignation underscores the urgency to ensure health agencies are led by those who prioritize science and public health.
