Following chaos and staff shakeups in the Department of Health and Human Services, over 1,000 current and former department employees signed a letter calling for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Post a prayer for your state!
From Fox News:
The employees cited Kennedy’s recent ousting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Susan Monarez. They also accused Kennedy of appointing “political ideologues” to positions of authority.
“We believe health policy should be based in strong, evidence-based principles rather than partisan politics. But under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, HHS policies are placing the health of all Americans at risk, regardless of their politics,” the letter says.
“Should he decline to resign, we call upon the President and U.S. Congress to appoint a new Secretary of Health and Human Services, one whose qualifications and experience ensure that health policy is informed by independent and unbiased peer-reviewed science. We expect those in leadership to act when the health of Americans is at stake,” the letter continues.
This letter comes after the Trump administration fired CDC Director Susan Monarez. Monarez’s ouster came after she refused Secretary Kennedy’s “directives to adopt new limitations on the availability of some vaccines, including for approvals for COVID-19 vaccines,” according to Fox.
These employees are also not the only ones to take issue with the Secretary’s recent actions. Senator Bernie Sanders also recently called for Secretary Kennedy’s resignation, accusing him of “endangering the health of the American people now and into the future” in an op-ed for The New York Times.
The White House, meanwhile, has defended the firing, arguing the President has the authority to oust “those who are not aligned with his mission.” In a statement to reporters, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Trump “and Secretary Kennedy are committed to restoring trust and transparency and credibility to the CDC by ensuring their leadership and their decisions are more public-facing, more accountable.”
As officials and employees push back on Secretary Kennedy, let’s pray for our leaders in the Trump administration. Let’s ask God to make them wise and serpents and innocent and doves, and let’s pray they hear His voice above all others.
What do you think of pushback against Secretary Kennedy? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

The Swamp doesn’t like being cleaned out. They could care less about any American or our Country. Thank God for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Protect him Lord and show yourself and your wisdom to him.
RFK Jr’s public humiliation hits rock bottom as his own nephew Joe Kennedy III calls for his immediate resignation and slams him over the “pain he is inflicting” in a scathing takedown.
RFK’s sister even joined in this time…
“Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American. A United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with protecting the public health of our country and its people,” Joe Kennedy III wrote on X. He is the former Special Envoy for Northern Ireland and a former Congressman.
“At yesterday’s hearing, he chose to do the opposite: to dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion. None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting,” he added.
RFK Jr’s sister Kerry Kennedy shared similarly brutal sentiments—
“The first smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796. Since then, countless vaccines have been developed and saved millions of lives. Vaccines work. This is not up for debate,” she wrote in a statement.
“Medical decisions belong in the hands of trained and licensed professionals, not incompetent and misguided leadership,” she continued. “The decimation of critical institutions, like the NIH and the CDC, will lead to the loss of innocent lives. This means that children, mothers, fathers, and those you love are at risk now, like never before.”
“I stand with the many courageous individuals in the medical and scientific communities who have had to set aside their vital work to speak truth to power to keep the public safe,” Kennedy added. “Enough is enough. Secretary Kennedy must resign. Now.”
Earlier this week, JFK’s only grandson Jack Schlossberg also trolled his cousin RFK Jr. over his disastrous Senate hearing.
“RFK LOSER is choking so badly LIVE,” Schlossberg wrote on X.
The testimony was indeed an unmitigated disaster. RFK Jr. pushed a slew of lies, anti-vax rhetoric, and indignant complaints. He attempted unsuccessfully to defend his deeply controversial firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez, a disastrous move that resulted in the resignations of four top CDC officials. What came across clearly to the American people is the fact that Kennedy is more than just woefully unsuited for his position, he’s an active danger to all of us.
Sadly, many many Americans do not know about the tragedy of big pharma and the lies and cover up of vaccines and vaccine injuries. Nor the truth about covid19, the covid19 shot, unnecessary deaths of those in treatment for covid19 especially back in the day and those who are still suffering loss of life due to receiving the shot.
I thank you Lord that the truth would be fully disclosed so that all Americans will see that what Mr. Kennedy is purposing will bring health to Americans. You are so faithful Lord. We know that you are over it all. You are a just God and you hate lies and deceit. Thank you that everything in the dark be exposed. In Jesus name. Amen
Mountain of medicine and science has held the public in fear and dependency on drugs that have not cured, but kept them as paying clients. As a critical care nurse for years I applaud Secretary Kennedy and his courage. May GOD give him see sight and wisdom of the sons of Issachar. May angels surround and protect him and his family. Blessings of courage!
The CDC was accepted around the world for the quality of its research. No one did it better or more carefully – it had real credibility. If you prefer the advice of a conspiracy theorist and a property developer, Kennedy and Trump, that is your choice, but people will die, and the American medical community will become the laughingstock of the world.
Cleaning house in he CDC and FDA was bound to hurt big; but their policies during (even prior to) covid and the “vaccines” are well documented/researched as to their dangers and ill effects…the Left just doesn’t want to see the evidence. Check out a Midwestern Doctor’s substack posts…also Dr Pierre Kory for starters. They (the Left) also don’t want to read or hear reports from morticians who have witnessed crazy before-unseen quantities of rare causes of death in ever younger patients. There have also been YEARS of vaccine research going on prior to covid…exposing the truth about vaccines, their lack of due diligence in testing, and misleading reports on the results of trials. So much out there…but the Left doesn’t even WANT to know. That’s on them. The rest of us would like to live in the truth.
I share this story because I personally have been forced to find many scientific and medical experts to help unravel what has happened to my son His condition, adult onset epilepsy with encephalomalacia and auto-immune (also new onset) blood emboli formation disorder (“rare”!) in the opinion of a leading hematological oncologist was a result of Vaccine Injury. And another member of my family nearly died of massive formation of pulmonary emboli 3 days post vaccine.
In the name of God, we cannot force people to take such risks on unproven vaccines against their will. Please people. Have some common sense.
Elaine, my heart goes out to you and your son. May he know the healing touch of Yeshua.
May Jesus comfort you as only He can. I am saddened by what you are going through. I have witnessed many many of my friends who were my mentors in various ways through the church in my community and I have a basketful of obituaries I have saved, because I knew they had taken the covid vaccine. Then there are other friends that were working jobs where they were required to take vaccine or lose their jobs, so they took it. I have never prayed so hard for many of my neighbors whom I love and are friends with. Jesus answered my prayers on those who confessed that they had taken the vax. A local pharmacist, whom I attend church with now, and who helped me with medical supplies when my mother was leaving this world from pancreatic cancer, quit offering the vax when I sent him documented online info about the vax before this virologist was censored from the internet.
All has been very disturbing. I know that my friends are gone to be with Jesus, but their very productive lives were cut short. Age didn’t matter. All ages!!!! I shall continue to claim Romans 8:28.
I am absolutely 100% agreeing in prayer over all these issues. I know many intercessors are under attack however. I wonder how you might boost prayer coverage for protection among we, the warriors?
I wish all these people responding would let us know the medical school they attended and how long they have been practicing medicine and which type of medical field they are working in. More likely I’d bet that most never passed a basic college biology class. Over 1000 people with medical degrees, 9 former CDC directors from both parties but we should take advice and respect the opinion of those posting with little education over the experts. My Lord, this is silly, this what Christianity has become. What a shame.
Tom, if you desire to assume fallen man is infallible because of medical degrees, go ahead – but my question would be – why is medical malpractice insurance necessary, if so? There are those who are equally qualified as medical professionals and they don’t agree with these so-called experts. Why is that? Honestly, I like a definition of “expert” that I find sadly true at times, but humorous – an expert is a former drip! So-called experts have misled and deceived many who are not wise. Education does not make one wise. The fear of the Lord, not man, is the beginning of wisdom.
I would venture to say that if you go to your local hospital and try to find a single doctor that agrees with RFK over those signing the letter, you will fail. Expand your search to any hospital in your state and you will likely still fail. And yet you want to take RFK’s side because your humorous take on wisdom. Again, this is silly.
Indeed Tom, Christians should give thanks for vaccines. Smallpox was eliminated and numerous dangerous infections brought under control – in God’s grace, mercy and gifts of scientific skill. The plans of Kennedy are Darwinian – survival of the fittest a new eugenics, those that die were expendable to produce a ‘master race’. God deliver all from foolishness.
Yes, yours and Tom’s!
The question is why is a site on intercession even discussing this? And Tom is right. If I want someone’s opinion, I will go to my doctor.
And if you poll the millions of doctors who are practicing, I am sure you will find someone who believes just about anything. Your argument doesn’t work.
I think Secretary Kennedy is one of the best things that has happened in America in recent years! I feel we have someone with our best interest as HHS in there. Push back NOT surprising in the least! Father God, please protect him and continue using RFK to make Americans healthy and protected from those wishing to kill us all off and bringing into the light the things that have been hidden in the darkness.
I would venture to say that perhaps in addition to the idolatrous motives of greed and a thirst for power, many in the CDC are just upset that the monopoly they have held in this nation for years, even decades has been broken – but maybe not enough yet. I am sick of the litany, “Follow the science!”, as though it was God. Just like polls, scientific research can easily be rigged – and therefore be misleading if not completely false. Are we talking observable science or historical science? Have the strictest standards been adhered to? Are the results of any research done valid, and have they been interpreted and applied accurately? Has other research been considered, especially if it resulted in other conclusions? The CDC has not proven itself worthy of trust, so why should we put any weight in the opinion of those signing this letter? The recent and ongoing fiasco with covid 19 vaccines has usurped their authority and permanently damaged their credibility.
Please intervene in this ongoing battle, YHVH. We pray You raise up those who will cooperate with RFK, to accomplish much-needed reformation, and freedom from less than worthy motives. Wouldn’t it be great to prioritize America becoming healthy again? – not drug-dependent, additive addicted or harmed, immune systems operating at peak levels, etc. etc. etc.
Yes! Reformation is definitely needed. Lord, protect and support those who seek to do your will!
The swamp is screaming. Monarez knew full well what Sec Kennedy’s agenda was regarding vaccines. She should have declined the nomination. Since she didn’t, it looks like she hoped to do her agenda, big pharma’s agenda instead of following her superior’s orders. President Trump and Sec Kennedy promised to rid our government of those working in govt. who do not serve the people. These people calling for Sec Kennedy’s removal are either believing the lies that all our vaccines and the COVID jab are safe or were leftovers from Obama or Biden that hate Trump and all he stands for, regardless if he does something beneficial or are being paid by big pharma. And what Sec Kennedy has said before the Senate about those lies has been shown to be true and backed up by many doctors and scientists we can trust who are not taking money from pharma. Satan doesn’t want people to be told the truth or to be healthy, he is trying to remove this man. We stand against his agenda against Sec. Kennedy. God we say no weapon formed against Sec Kennedy or his family would prosper and that all tongues that rise against him would be silenced in Jesus mighty name!!!
I get righteous anger over all these anti-American, anti-God people in Congress who are getting rich on killing off the patriots in this country who are against their treasonous ways. The so-called Covid vaccine was an anti-population tactic of all the elites of the Third World Order and these vaccines killed more of our population than Covid itself. Nothing but evil and treasonous!!!!!!
Dear Father, bring all this evil into the light for Your righteous judgment! The idol in this country is GREED and people who do not know You will kill, steal, and destroy to push their control over humankind. I pray a hedge of protection around Mr. Kennedy who is doing his best to restore everything good for the health of babies, children, teens, parents, and the elderly in the name of Jesus!!! Amen and Maranatha!
I thank God for Secretary Kennedy’s relentless pursuit of unearthing the truth of the danger of mandated childhood vaccines. I thank God for his presenting the truth of the dangerous COVID-19 vaccines. Keep up the good work Sec. Kennedy!
I pray that those opposing you will come to see the truth and support you in protecting our health and wel-being. 🙏🙏
This is very simple and clear attack.
Robert Kennedy JR.
Has the facts.
They do not want to accept them.
There is no proven results from any of the

What IFA and all the people commenting here completely ignore is that Trump deliberately put incompetent people in positions of authority. It is shameful. One has to be so deluded to believe that these people signing this are in the wrong. ALL 9! ALL9! REPUBLICAN and Democrat living CDC directors also write that RFK is incompetent. IFA and their bias waits days to report this just like they waited days to report on Hegseth inviting a reporter to a classified meeting and then in both cases IFA won’t report on the incompetence. This is not Christianity, it is covering up for unrighteousness in our country to support a sinful president who assaults women, cheats on all 3 of his wives and pays to cover it up and then people somehow compare him favorably to King David. Silly. Making a mockery out of Christianity.

Father, I pray for Secretary Kennedy. Thank you that he is bringing truth out that was squelched in the past and ignored. I pray you would strengthen him and those he is bringing in to change things. The CDC ignored the voices that raised the voices that spoke truth. May truth be favored and Secretary Kennedy be strengthened in what he is doing.
Those trying to obstruct the work of RFK wants us to focus on is what is being taken away, but all those things cause negative side effects which are bad for us in the long run. I for one have been paying a steep price for a long time & have had to turn to natural substances to overcome what Doctors always try to convince me are good for me. The problem is they only cause more side effects & harm. RFK is doing his best to remove all the harmful substances that doctors & pharmacies continue to prescribe. RFK is attempting to turn everything around by putting us on the right path. We need him to continue to fight for us in the Trump Administration !
I don’t know who these 1000 people are but they must not look at all the side effects of the Covid 19 shot that have ruined the health of many people. I think there is evidence that the immunization schedule for babies, which has increased very much since I was a child and my children were babies, could be the cause of the unbelievable increase in autism. I support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
RFK is one of the only 1 who cares for our country. All of these people have been “bedfellows” with the drug companies or chemical companies and have sought to profit from the unhealthy of the American people. If things worked like they say, you could get 1 prescription and never have to go back for a refill, so to speak. Think about it. We need a health model not a sickness model. We need to truly care about others not profiting from others. RFK has compassion and cares for the people, like Dr Oz. Our whole systems need a revamp. Has anyone been paying attention to all the recalls we have on food, and medicine. And why are we still spraying all the chemicals on our land and GMO crops, we are poisoning ourselves. Wake up. RFK is right on point. The old cronies in the agency are objecting. God please protect RFKjr, give him wisdom. Have mercy on us oh God.
Please pray….. Food marked “Organic” is no longer Organic. The label is now used so corporate food companies can charge more. And… ironically – Small farmers cannot pay the highly inflated price to have this fake “Organic” label!
Besides – It is meaningless.
Our US FOOD has included toxic pesticides, toxic colorings, etc, etc. NOW, Organic has no meaning. This is dangerous. We need RFK to stop our US GOV from allowing our health to be effected detrimentally by “Massive Corporations” from only looking at PROFITS – Not HEALTH.
Please God, allow Robert F Kennedy, Jr to work in favor of US CITIZENS. Please….our US food supply determines our Health.
Thank you IFA
Kennedy is a threat to poor health practices set in place by cdc. Who trusts them after Covid? May Kennedy continue to fight for our children with all these mRNA vaccines. They do cause autism in many children. And if not that can effect on their brains or nervous systems. Could this be why we have so many bipolar children ?
Oops, I accidentally pushed report button.
Every person who signed that letter is showing his/her true colors – and they are NOT red, white, and blue; they are anti-American and anti-humanity – and they should all be fired!
Lord, change their hearts or remove them from HHS!
Not just a mass of employees, also the 9 living CDC directors, Republican and Democrat call out RFK, medical experts realize what a tragedy RFK is for the health of our country. People on here can trash the experts but you can bet when Trump needs personal medical advice, he doesn’t go to RFK, he suddenly trusts the experts that people are trashing in these comments. Really sad Christians are so taken in by this.
all 9 living former CDC directors publish a SCATHING open letter calling out Trump and RFK Jr. for pushing dangerous anti-science nonsense and conspiracies that are “endangering every Americans’ health.”
This letter is a five-alarm fire, and EVERY WORD of it is worth reading, and we include key excerpts below.
This has NEVER happened before, as EVERY living former CDC director — Republican and Democrat, from Carter through Trump — united to sound the alarm on Trump’s health secretary, RFK Jr.
In their own words, what RFK Jr. has done is: “Unlike anything we had ever seen at the agency and unlike anything our country had ever experienced.”
RFK Jr. has “fired thousands of federal health workers and severely weakened programs designed to protect Americans from cancer, heart attacks, strokes, lead poisoning, injury, violence and more,” they explain.
“Amid the largest measles outbreak in the United States in a generation, he’s focused on unproven treatments while downplaying vaccines.”
He “canceled investments in promising medical research that will leave us ill prepared for future health emergencies. He replaced experts on federal health advisory committees with unqualified individuals who share his dangerous and unscientific views.:
RFK Jr. “announced the end of U.S. support for global vaccination programs that protect millions of children and keep Americans safe, citing flawed research and making inaccurate statements. And he championed federal legislation that will cause millions of people with health insurance through Medicaid to lose their coverage.”
And when CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp his junk science on vaccines, “he decided she was expendable.”
“These are not typical requests from a health secretary to a C.D.C. director. Not even close. None of us would have agreed to the secretary’s demands, and we applaud Dr. Monarez for standing up for the agency and the health of our communities,” they write.
“The loss of Dr. Monarez and other top leaders will make it far more difficult for the C.D.C. to do what it has done for about 80 years: work around the clock to protect Americans from threats to their lives and health.”
The former directors warn the damage is catastrophic:
“Residents of rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community health clinics… will have fewer resources available to them. Children risk losing access to lifesaving vaccines.”
No, we deserve better. Kennedy knows, he has been fighting for the health of Americans for years. You are incorrect. We have been sold out years ago to chemical, drug companies and the AMA.
If these leaders are doing their job, why are we the most vaccinated, over medicated, pain killer subscribe nation, and the sickest?
Globalist control is entrenched in all branches of the government and departments such as the CDC, for as long as you have lived. Wake up to the real facts. The heads of these departments rotate between FDC and CDC, all greed control and self perpetuating. Stay away from the majority opinion of health care. Buy your food from growers you know or grow it your self. That will help you more. Praying over your meal has never been more needed.
Agree, Deborah! Your last sentence is oh so true, but it did make me chuckle!
You know the Trump administration is doing something right when the swamp screams and hollers. Keep up the good work!
Of course those perpetrating evil, and profitting off evil, don’t like RFK!
Lord, continue to expose and clean it up; clean it ALL up!! In Jesus’ name.
“Not by power, not by might, but by YOUR SPIRIT all is accomplished.”
Heavenly Father, pour out YOUR SPIRIT on RFK, and our HHS staff. Reform the department! Remove those who refuse to operate in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Reverse the curse and pour out Your blessings as we stand with Israel 🇮🇱 🙏
Amen!
I always say to my friend “raise the praise!” and “reverse the curse!”
On board with you Lisa:)
It’s interesting that this letter calls for the very things that the Biden Administration ignored. They made everything political, including the “science” they relied on. Just look at the falsehoods given us by Phony Fauci, and all of he other lies being uncovered by Congressional investigations.
Heavenly Father we trust Your mighty hand on all the divisions in our country. Light vs. Dark indeed.
Help Your children to continue to examine themselves and repent, humble ourselves before Your throne, so the wicked ways of the rebellious WILL NOT stand in the way of America’s return to You.
One Nation Under God!
We cry out for mercy, protection and like Gideon, if there are only a few good men, with God on our side VICTORY in Your power will prevail!
Make our crooked paths straight and press Your people to seek You first in all matters asking for wisdom, self-control and above all hearts that hunger after Your love and purity for our homes and our nation.
In Jesus’ precious name,
Amen
I stand in agreement with Secretary Kennedy and the President. I am thankful they are doing the necessary work in order to restore the health of Americans. The CDC has failed to not only maintain the health of children in particular but we now have a death rate and overall health of children ithat is worse in the USA compared to other modern industrialized nations.
Where were these critics when the nation was lied to about masks, vaccines etc. Why didn’t they demand Dr. Fauci be fired? Sadly The CDC has been more interested in personal financial gain than the health of the nation.
I pray Sn. Kennedy will continue to press on for the health of the children and expose truth.
Anyone who signed on to the letter should be fired and replaced, if they were ever even necessary. They are deep state holdovers and obstructionists.
My exact thoughts
They have the names, get rid of them.
Can’t help but wonder what kind of profit old Bernie’s getting of the corruption.
As they say look for the Judas, there’s always a Judas, a money trail
The Conflict between Light and Darkness, Truth and the lie, Right and wrong intensives.
A Time and Season for Men of Valor, the Men of Issachar to arise. A Reminant to prevail in truth to expose the the false. LIFE is Greater than death. CHRIST IS LIFE.
I pray with all my heart that RFK will remain! He is a breath of fresh air and the answer to many concerned parents prayers!!
