Six former U.S. surgeons general have publicly condemned Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, calling his leadership a "profound, immediate, and unprecedented threat" to the health and safety of Americans.
The letter, published in The Washington Post, was written by Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello, and David Satcher—who have all served as surgeon general and have collectively served under every Republican and Democratic president since George H. W. Bush.
