Prevent Anti-Vax Advocate RFK from Becoming Health Secretary


Prevent Anti-Vax Advocate RFK from Becoming Health Secretary
The Issue
Kelly Pozzoli, a once vibrant and beautiful friend, tragically succumbed to cervical cancer a few months after her diagnosis. Her fight was relentless, yet, it's the kind of fight no person should have to endure, especially due to preventable diseases such as cervical cancer which can be combatted by the HPV vaccine.
It is devastating to know we have the tools at our disposal to prevent such tragedies, but face potential setbacks with figures like RFK. Known to be an anti-vax advocate and a propagator of misinformation, RFK's potential role as the Department of Health and Human Services secretary puts many lives at risk, including those of our loved ones.
Vaccines have significantly reduced mortality rates from deadly diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that vaccines prevented at least 10 million deaths between 2010 and 2015. Moreover, the introduction of the HPV vaccine has the potential to prevent an estimated 90% of HPV-related cancers, an opportunity Kelly didn't have.
Cervical cancer will be almost eradicated in Norway by the year 2029!
With such compelling data, it is alarming to think of the Department of Health being led by someone who opposes vaccinations. This is not just about statistics - it's about lives, like Kelly's, that could be saved. Together, let's make our voices heard. Let's demand a Department of Health and Human Services secretary who understands and advocates for the vital role of vaccines in preventing deadly diseases.
Your signature can help ensure that no more lives are lost to diseases that can be prevented by vaccines. Sign now to prevent RFK from becoming the Health Secretary.
