National public health group calls for RFK Jr. to resign, citing ‘complete disregard for science’

Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said in a statement on Wednesday that concerns raised during Kennedy’s confirmation hearing last month have been realized, followed by massive reductions in staff at key health agencies.
