Dozens of Nobel Prize winners have come together to voice their concerns over the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services. In a letter published by the New York Times, 77 laureates in chemistry, economics, medicine, and physics have urged the US Senate to oppose Kennedy's nomination.
The letter highlights Kennedy's controversial stances on various health-related issues, including his opposition to vaccines, criticism of water fluoridation, promotion of AIDS conspiracy theories, and his negative views on agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the US National Institutes of Health.
