Resolution to Impeach Health Secretary for Undermining Public Health and Science.

The U.S. House of Representatives introduced a resolution to impeach Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing abuse of authority and high crimes and misdemeanors. The allegations focus on actions that severely diminished the nation's public health capacity, including massive staff cuts at the CDC and NIH, halting billions in medical research funding, and promoting scientifically unfounded policies. If successful, this action would lead to the removal of the head of the agency responsible for protecting the health and safety of all Americans.
Key points
Allegations include widespread layoffs of scientists and staff across key health agencies (CDC, NIH, FDA), reducing capacity for disease monitoring and public records transparency.
Billions of dollars in biomedical research grants were canceled or frozen, impacting innovation in areas like cancer treatment, infectious diseases, and maternal health.
The Secretary is accused of eroding public trust in vaccines and science by firing expert committees and unilaterally changing vaccine recommendations.
Key public health programs, including mental health services (988 Lifeline support) and family planning funding (Title X), were allegedly shut down or defunded.
