Details: A letter in support of RFK Jr. for Health Secretary was submitted to the Senate yesterday, revealing signatures from individuals, including doctors with revoked licenses and non-medical professionals. Among the nearly 800 signers, the AP discovered that at least 10 doctors had faced board sanctions, with other signatories including chiropractors, nurses, and individuals without medical qualifications.
Significance: This letter is intended to bolster Kennedy's nomination for Health Secretary, amidst opposition from medical experts due to his anti-vaccine stance. Conversely, a rival letter signed by 18,000 verified doctors opposes his nomination, underscoring the debate surrounding his potential impact on public health policy.
