800 doctors submitted a letter of support for RFK Jr’s HHS secretary nomination.

It turns out most signatories weren’t real doctors, or were doctors who had their licenses revoked or suspended.

Using fake experts to create an illusion of credibility is a classic anti-vax tactic.

Some doctors who signed letter in support of RFK Jr. had licenses revoked.

A letter submitted to the U.S. Senate that states it was sent by physicians in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as secretary of Health and Human Services includes the names of doctors who have had their licenses revoked, suspended or faced other discipline. The Associated Press has also found that many of the nearly 800 signers of the letter are not doctors. Among those who signed it were a self-described journalist, a certified public accountant, a firefighter/paramedic, a certified health coach and someone who said they had a bachelor’s degree “with an emphasis on Jungian Psychology.”
