Senior health officials are sounding the alarm – resigning in protest and warning that Trump and RFK’s political meddling is going to destroy our ability to trust the agencies responsible for protecting our health.

Here’s what’s at stake when we put untrained ideologues and political extremists in charge of our nation’s health policy:

• RFK Jr. announced new restrictions on the COVID vaccine he’s spent years pushing misinformation about – which means it’ll be harder for anyone under 65 to get their shots as new variants of the disease surge

• Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control has quietly scaled back its safeguards against foodborne illness – making the food we eat less safe and leaving us vulnerable to deadly outbreaks.

• And unfortunately, all of these decisions have much higher stakes now that Trump and Republicans in Congress have cut billions from our healthcare – putting hundreds of hospitals at risk of closing and kicking 15 million off their health insurance.
