The employees of the US health authority accuse RFK JR to fuel violence against them

On Wednesday, more than 750 current and former federal health employees accused the secretary of the Health and Human Service (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In a letter to Kennedy and members of the congress, the group RFK Jr.

The group said Kennedy’s rhetoric played a role in the attack on August 8th in the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, where a man from Georgia opened the fire on four CDC buildings, fired dozens of shots and killed a police officer. Law enforcement officers said the shooter had blamed a Covid 19 vaccine for feeling depressed and suicidal.

After the attack, Kennedy refused to confirm the shooter’s motive in an interview. He described political violence as “wrong”, but neither he nor Donald Trump spoke publicly about the motif, although the law enforcement officers made it clear that the shooter aimed at the CDC against the vaccine.

Health personnel now ask Kennedy to “avoid the continuing distribution of false and misleading demands on vaccines, transfer of infectious diseases and America’s public health institutions and to reject them publicly”.

The workers continued to accuse Kennedy of “disassembling public health infrastructure in America and endangering the health of the nation through repeated spread inaccurate health information”.

In the letter, HHS was asked to “recognize and confirm that the work of CDC is based on scientific, non-party evidence that focus on improving the health of every American” and “ensure that the HHS workforce can fulfill its obligations in an environment that is free from the impending threats of the damage”.

In addition, Kennedy asks to take “strong measures” to eliminate online content that aims at federal employees, including “Dei -Watchlists”. The workers asked for a response from the health secretary by September 2.

The letter comes a day after the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) took an attitude against the HHS and demanded that children from six months and up to 23 months receive the Covid 19 vaccine, a position that deviates from the current guidance of the Trump management of Trump management.

Kennedy replied to the updated guidelines of the AAP on social media by accusing the organization, not disclosing sufficiently open conflicts of interest.
