(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — On Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 100th day as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action, released the following statement:
“Today marks RFK Jr.’s 100th day as Health and Human Services Secretary — and what a dumpster fire it has been. Since day one, RFK Jr. has peddled vaccine fairy tales, claimed people with autism “will never go on a date” and dived headfirst into a river of raw sewage. He’s transformed our nation’s health agencies into a conspiracy theory playground and watched with a grin as Republicans gutted the health budget to hand tax breaks to billionaires.
“314 Action’s mission has never been more urgent. The real boogie man behind America’s full-blown public health crisis is not fluoride or food coloring — it’s RFK Jr. and his allies dead set on dismantling life-saving health care programs and trust in science. That’s why we are focused on recruiting and electing doctors, scientists, nurses, researchers — leaders who understand what it really means to make Americans healthy again.”
Since his nomination, 314 Action has been a leader in holding RFK Jr. accountable and continues the work through an ongoing seven-figure accountability campaign against him and the Trump administration. This week, 314 Action released a digital ad and new digital tip line to hear from those impacted by RFK Jr.’s public health care cuts.
