Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, believes that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. should resign, but social media disagrees.
Leftists hate Kennedy for challenging their devotion to ‘the science,’ especially when it comes to vaccines, and now a New York Times op-ed from Sanders is calling on Kennedy to give up his position at Health and Human Services.
“Mr Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office, President Trump and Mr Kennedy have done exactly the opposite,” the senator wrote, adding that “despite the overwhelming opposition of the medical community, Secretary Kennedy has continued his longstanding crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been rejected repeatedly by scientific experts.”
Sanders joins the growing voices of angry activists who are outraged over the firing of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Susan Monarez. This comes less than a month after her confirmation, when she reportedly “refused Kennedy’s directives to adopt new limitations on the availability of some vaccines, including approvals for COVID-19 vaccines,” according to Fox News.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Sanders said it would be “a real public health crisis” if Kennedy were able to “make people think that vaccines are not safe.”

“We’ve got to rally the American people. This is a huge issue,” he said.
“I’m not a scientist, I’m not a doctor, but I do talk to scientists, and I do talk to doctors, and the evidence is overwhelming. It’s not contestable. Vaccines work. They save millions and millions of lives.”
X users are not exactly convinced:

The goal is to make them safe if they aren’t.

@BernieSanders and media want this to be a debate about vaccines *in theory,* while Americans are interested in each vaccine individually. They want to know what they’re actually putting in their body and their children’s bodies. @RandPaul @nytimes @RobertKennedyJr @JoeSquawk
