(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Since his confirmation as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has weaponized his role to implement his anti-vaccine agenda. He’s abandoned every promise made to protect childhood vaccines and dismantled public health standards and practices for generations to come. In a new memo, Donald Trump’s administration doubled-down on RFK Jr.’s agenda, calling for an expedited review of America’s childhood vaccine schedule.  

“RFK Jr. pulled the wool over Senator Bill Cassidy’s eyes at the confirmation hearing and now Americans are paying a deadly price,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “Undermining confidence in vaccines and adding red-tape doesn’t make anyone—especially newborns and children—healthier. His assault on health care is taking us back to a time when Americans were sicker, not healthier.”

Naughton continued, “That’s why it’s more important than ever that we elect doctors and scientists to office. 314 Action is working with a record number of candidates running for office in 2026 to fight back against RFK Jr.’s public health crisis. It’s time to elect candidates who know what it takes to make America healthy and undo RFK Jr.’s damage.”
