“Reckless”
Stevens’ impeachment articles were directly supported by a grassroots political organization advocating for the country’s scientific community, called Stand Up for Science.
Colette Delawalla, the group’s founder and CEO, was quoted in Stevens’ press announcement, saying Kennedy’s actions are “negligent and will result in harm and loss of life. He must be impeached and removed.”
In the 13-page impeachment articles filed, Stevens accuses Kennedy of high crimes and misdemeanors, citing a lengthy list of actions Kennedy has taken that have been widely decried by public health, scientific, and medical experts as harmful. Those include gutting funding for research, including cancer, addiction, and mRNA vaccine technology; making the work of the US Department of Health and Human Services less transparent by ending public comment periods for some actions; making false and misleading health statements, particularly about vaccines; firing the entire panel of vaccine advisors for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; hiring a slew of his fellow anti-vaccine activists to undermine public health from within the health department in roles for which they are unqualified; and making unilateral changes to federal vaccine recommendations.
“Under his watch, families are less safe and less healthy, people are paying more for care, lifesaving research has been gutted, and vaccines have been restricted,” Stevens said. “His actions are reckless, his leadership is harmful, and his tenure has become a direct threat to our nation’s health and security.”
