"As Chair of the Senate Health Committee, I stand in firm opposition against the dangerous and careless nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has long espoused discredited, anti-science views that have undermined public trust in life-saving vaccines, and other essential public health measures.
"At a time when we must rebuild confidence in our healthcare system and safeguard the health and safety of all Americans, elevating someone with such a harmful track record is both reckless and irresponsible.
"Public health should prioritize science, facts, and the well-being of our children, families, and communities, especially the most marginalized. Instead, the incoming Trump administration is granting more influence to those who recklessly spread misinformation jeopardizing the lives of too many among us.
"I urge all Senators who will vote on this nomination to carefully weigh the serious consequences his appointment could have on the health of millions of Americans. In New York, we will remain vigilant and consider all actions our state can take to protect our health system from being undermined and disparaged by Trump and his associates."
