“We need to stop sane-washing RFK Jr. No matter how they try to dress him up, RFK Jr.’s dangerous pseudoscience agenda has done nothing but make Americans sicker, unhealthier and more vulnerable to public health threats.

“If the Supreme Court caves to the demands of Donald Trump, Big Chemical corporations will be granted immunity,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “Allowing companies to avoid labeling potential cancer-causing ingredients would have devastating consequences for the health of the American people, our farms, and our environment.”
“And this is just a real tragedy, and I think it's almost a result of the success of vaccination that people don't remember how devastating it was for children, especially before we had these vaccines—and that we're just walking away from it, or encouraging or people to walk away from
“The damage he has done to America’s public agencies will take years, if not decades, to repair and as long as RFK Jr. remains health secretary—he will continue to put every American’s health at risk. More children will die from preventable diseases, more hospitals and rural clinics will close and
“RFK Jr. spent the entire hearing evading any and all responsibility for failing to keep Americans safe and healthy. When directly questioned about his tenure as HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. froze, ducked, and dodged. He couldn’t answer for his cuts to medical and scientific research, wouldn’t promise to follow the
“We're already living with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s reckless leadership,” said 314 Action Executive Director Erik Polyak. “On his watch, we've seen the worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. Children are getting sick from diseases the U.S. eliminated because RFK Jr. continues to undermine confidence in childhood vaccines,
“Democrats with backgrounds in STEM are uniquely qualified to really lead on a lot of the most important issues of the day, like health care,” 314 Action Executive Director Eric Polyak said. “They just have so much credibility.”
Erik Polyak, Executive Director, 314 Action: “This isn't hypothetical. We're already living with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s leadership. On his watch, we've seen the worst measles outbreak in 25 years. Children are getting sick from diseases we've effectively eliminated because he spent years undermining confidence in childhood vaccines and
The poll conducted by Data for Progress for RFK Jr. Watch, a project of 314 Action, shows MAHA agenda is politically risky, creates opening for Democrats (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — A new national survey finds that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a political liability for the
“Americans don't trust influencers and podcasters to give medical advice, and no one wants to listen to RFK Jr.”
“RFK Jr.’s MAHA allies are saying the quiet part out loud: the MAHA endgame has always been to eliminate childhood vaccine recommendations,” said Grace Silva, 314 Action spokesperson. “Everything he’s done as HHS Secretary—gutting ACIP, reducing the number of recommended immunizations, and undermining confidence in vaccine safety—has set the stage
“Americans don’t trust our public health agencies because of RFK Jr.,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “This poll reinforces that doctors, scientists, and health care professionals continue to hold the highest level of trust, as trust in federal health agencies decline under RFK Jr.’s leadership. From cherry-picking data,
“RFK Jr. needs to take his tour on the road and apologize to the MAHA moms who got measles outbreaks in exchange for lip service. RFK Jr.’s backflip on how glyphosate suddenly became good for us is completely bonkers and requires mental acrobatics of Olympic proportions. It’s just more of
“If Donald Trump gave RFK Jr. a glass of Kool-Aid, he’d drink it. The President just undermined the MAHA movement, yet again. RFK Jr. has made his work against pesticides the backbone of the MAHA movement, but immediately abandoned the position when Trump sided with Big Ag."
“But…RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in germ theory?”
“One year later, RFK Jr.’s death toll grows,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “His vaccine disinformation campaign killed children in Samoa—and his anti-vaccine agenda has already killed at least three Americans and spurred the largest measles outbreak in 25 years.”
“RFK Jr's ties—financial ties to the anti vaccine industry that he has, you know, frankly, profited off of for decades…We are still calling on him to clarify, what—if any—financial advantages he has by continuing this pursuit of undermining vaccine safety and vaccine use in this country. RFK Jr. is a
“RFK Jr.’s scheme to expose vaccine makers to greater liability is diabolical. No one is surprised that he’s continuing his lifelong campaign promoting disproven theories around safe and effective vaccines—but what is surprising is how brazenly he’s using his position as HHS Secretary for personal and financial gain.
