We ask: "What can be done, given the current administration’s vigorous efforts to undermine vaccination?"
We suggest 4 priorities:
1. Congressional leaders must recognize they were misled in supporting RFK Jr. He must resign or be fired. Congress can hold hearings & investigate his actions.

![First, those leaders in the Congress who purportedly were to serve as
guardrails for Sec. Kennedy need to acknowledge they were misled and
withdraw their support from his dangerous policies. They should listen
to Doctors for America, which says that Sec. Kennedy is “unfit to serve as
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary” and “has used his position
to advance health misinformation, dismantle public health services, and
undermine HHS’s mission to “to enhance the health and well-being of all
Americans.”” [28] Doctors for America and the American Public Health
Association are both calling for RFK Jr. to resign or be fired [27,29].
Congress can hold hearings and investigate RFK Jr.’s actions, and pass
legislation correcting the worst of Mr. Kennedy’s actions—or at least
resolutions calling them out.

There are different ways in which honesty can be understood and what people consider to be the truth.
One approach relies on evidence and is concerned with the state of the world.
The other approach relies on intuition and is concerned with sincere expression of belief.

Seriously. I’m just finishing up the touches on a sprawling talk showing how our 10+ years of research reveals the participatory dynamics of right wing media and he just … goes on Fox News and blurts out the punchline.
