The confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has incited strong backlash from LGBTQ+ organizations. Critics highlight his history of anti-vaccine activism and unfounded conspiracy theories, which raise concerns about his capability to address public health issues effectively. LGBTQ+ leaders point to existing healthcare inequities and emphasize the importance of prioritizing health organizations to address critical challenges facing their communities, urging the new secretary to take immediate action to safeguard health rights.
Mr. Kennedy's approach to public health is not in the best interest of our communities, nor does he intend to eradicate critical issues to safeguard health and safety for us all.
We live in an America with glaring gaps in healthcare equity, substance abuse, and chronic disease management. Our communities are the most impacted by these inequities.
