(Washington) Hundreds of employees and former employees of American health agencies accuse Donald Trump’s health secretary on Wednesday in an open letter, the Robert Kennedy Jr. vaccine, to endanger them by spreading false information.
This call occurs almost two weeks after an armed attack on the siege of the centers for the control and prevention of diseases (CDC), the main health agency in the United States.
A man with strong admonitions against the Vaccines against the COVVI-19 had targeted on August 8, several CDC buildings in Atlanta and killed a police officer who was interposed. More than 500 sockets had been found on the scene.
This attack “was not fortuitous”, believe the civil servants in this open letter, pointing “a context of increasing mistrust towards public institutions, fueled by a politicized rhetoric having transformed public health professionals, formerly considered as trustworthy experts, in targets of demonization”.
A phenomenon that secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who has repeatedly relayed false information about vaccines and accused of corruption he directs, is accused of fueling.
RFK Jr. “is an accomplice to the dismantling of the United States public health infrastructure and endangers the health of the nation by repeating erroneous health information repeatedly”, they thus implore the secretary of ceasing to act in this way.
Since taking office, the nephew of murdered president JFK has multiplied shock announcements, especially on vaccines, against scientific consensus.
A vaccinosceptic turning point denounced by many experts. In this context, a petition calling the congress to dismiss it was launched and collected more than 12,600 signatures on Wednesday.
This open letter from civil servants, part of which wanted to remain anonymous, occurs in the wake of other similar texts signed by federal employees to denounce the actions of the Trump administration.
With consequences: nearly 140 employees of the environmental protection agency having publicly rebelled were thus placed in July in forced holidays.
