Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

By Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello and David Satcher

The writers are all former U.S. surgeons general.

As former U.S. surgeons general appointed by every Republican and Democratic president since George H.W. Bush, we have collectively spent decades in service as the Nation’s Doctor. We took two sacred oaths in our lifetimes: first, as physicians who swore to care for our patients and, second, as public servants who committed to protecting the health of all Americans.

Today, in keeping with those oaths, we are compelled to speak with one voice to say that the actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation. Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.

Trump and his cohorts seem to be dismantling healthcare via the RFK Jr. appointment to HHS, ending funding for various NIH research, reducing staff and programs at the CDC, creating confusion about vaccines, etc.

Plus they refuse to subsidize the Obamacare health insurance for millions, which will ultimately make health insurance unaffordable for some families.

I suspect Trump's ultimate goal it to let the sick die off, thus saying the national billions in healthcare costs and leaving only the healthiest, fittest people alive.

In other words, they're practicing a form of eugenics. Just like the Nazis did

Good. But that doesn't save us from the hell of Dump and RFK Jr.

R4 True, but saying nothing allows this destruction of the US health and science to be seen as acceptable and normal. The more they are called out on it publicly and loudly the better.
