Over 1,000 Current and Former Workers at HHS Call on RFK Jr. to Resign

HeadlineSep 04, 2025

More than 1,000 current and former workers at the Department of Health and Human Services sent a letter to Congress Wednesday demanding the resignation of RFK Jr. over his pseudoscientific claims and his attacks on public health. This comes just days after The New York Times published a joint op-ed by nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headlined “We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health.” They write, “This is a time to rally to protect the health of every American. Congress must exercise its oversight authority over Health and Human Services.”
