'No More Conspiracy Theories. Kennedy Must Resign,' Says Sanders Amid CDC Fallout - Alaska Native News

Senator Sanders highlights Kennedy's cuts to vaccine research and Medicaid, warning these policies could leave 15 million Americans uninsured and reduce access to lifesaving immunizations.

  • On Saturday, Senator Bernie Sanders demanded Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s resignation in a New York Times op-ed, accusing him of undermining public health through vaccine skepticism and conspiracies.
  • After the CDC director's ouster, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed Susan Monarez less than a month into her tenure, triggering four senior officials' resignations and hundreds walking out at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
  • Kennedy's budget moves included recently canceling nearly $500 million in research funding and outbreak‑preparedness grants, and reducing COVID‑19 vaccine availability for younger, healthier Americans.
  • The immediate effect includes pushing 15 million people off health insurance and reducing vaccine access, straining nursing homes, hospitals and community health centers, Sanders warned.
  • Credibility concerns emerged after a report spearheaded by RFK Jr. contained fake citations and AI markers, while Sanders warned Kennedy may next target the childhood immunization schedule, citing WHO's estimate that vaccines saved 154 million lives recently.
