Protect Our Care

Protect Our Care is a healthcare advocacy group that is currently in the news due to its call for the resignation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as the US Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. Kennedy's appointment was controversial due to his history of anti-vaccine activism. The group's demand for his resignation stems from recent remarks Kennedy made, including downplaying the risks of COVID-19 with a statement involving cocaine and toilet seats. Protect Our Care views these comments as inappropriate and indicative of a lack of seriousness regarding public health concerns. This situation highlights the ongoing debate surrounding Kennedy's suitability for the HHS Secretary role and underscores the tension between his personal views and the responsibilities of his office in promoting public health and safety.
