The silence from major professional groups in response to RFK Jr. is a dereliction of duty. His record of disinformation on vaccines and public health is a direct threat to science-based policy. Individual scientists and Nobel Laureates have spoken out, but institutions like the AMA and AAP, which exist to defend public health and evidence-based medicine, have failed to mount organized resistance. Their inaction isn’t just concerning-it actively enables the legitimization of his rhetoric especially now that he may get Senate confirmation.
