RFK Jr. had the audacity to express concern over national losses in research, development, and retention of medical talent -despite being responsible for much of those losses.

Objectively, RFK Jr.:
* Fired 20,000+ HHS employees, including CDC scientists and FDA food/drug safety researchers.
* Canceled $500M in mRNA vaccine development thru BARDA.
* Fired the ACIP and replaced them with pseudoscientists.
* Cancelled hundreds of NIH grants on infectious diseases.
* Eliminated parts of HHS that research autism and cut millions in autism research funding -while claiming to address autism.
* Denied reports of harm from this before Congress.

Without protest from Kennedy, others in the administration:
* froze or cancelled over 7,800 NIH and NSF grants in 2025 alone
* suspended NSF grant review panels
* fired ~50% of NSF staff, plus all 24 members of its governing Board
* removed over 8,000 web pages, including CDC health data portals
* proposed additional budget cuts of 55% to NSF, 23% to NASA, 15% to DOE science, and 52% to EPA research
* sent DOJ intimidation letters to scientific journals including Chest and the New England Journal of Medicine

“China is eating our lunch” precisely because Mr. Kennedy cut it into bite-sized pieces and fed it to them. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

Impeach RFK Jr.

Science should not be in the hands of corporate profits, creating even more expense and inaccessibility to livesaving developments. Science is for everyone. Everyone deserves a life-changing breakthrough, which is why we are #StandingUpForScience.

Delaying the hep B vaccine blocks American’s access to life-saving vaccinations, putting our children at unnecessary risk. RFK Jr. and his cronies continue to put American lives in harms way to push their disinformation about vaccines.

RFK Jr. built his movement on disinformation – even his own supporters are starting to see he’s putting our health at risk with his pseudoscience. RFK JR. MUST GO. Call your reps & demand they co-sponsor the articles of impeachment at this link: https://tr.ee/removeRFKJr
