This resolution calls for the impeachment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, based on allegations of abuse of authority and undermining public health. The charges include conducting large workforce reductions that eliminated key scientists, canceling over $8.9 billion in biomedical research grants at the National Institutes of Health, shuttering disease prevention programs, and removing the COVID-19 vaccine from CDC recommendations for pregnant women and children without proper scientific review. Additionally, the resolution alleges that Kennedy made false and misleading public statements about vaccine safety, autism, and other health matters that contradict established science, and that he fired the Senate-confirmed CDC Director and replaced members of the federal immunization advisory committee with unqualified appointees who oppose vaccine science. If passed by the House, the resolution would send articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Kennedy should be removed from office.
