314 Action Celebrates Pi Day

“This Pi Day, 314 Action is celebrating a decade of electing scientists and doctors to office—and right now, our mission is more crucial than ever,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “The American people can’t afford Trump and RFK Jr.’s health care crisis. Funding has been gutted, research has halted, and millions have been priced out of their health insurance. 314 Action knows better than anyone that science is resistance and we’re just getting started.”

ICYMI: “Eliminate All Childhood Vaccine Recommendations” — MAHA Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

“RFK Jr.’s MAHA allies are saying the quiet part out loud: the MAHA endgame has always been to eliminate childhood vaccine recommendations,” said Grace Silva, 314 Action spokesperson. “Everything he’s done as HHS Secretary—gutting ACIP, reducing the number of recommended immunizations, and undermining confidence in vaccine safety—has set the stage for him to drive manufacturers out of the U.S and eradicate all vaccines. Even among Trump voters, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies are deeply unpopular. 314 Action will continue to lead the charge against RFK Jr. to make sure there are consequences in the midterms.”

NEW POLL: Americans Trust Scientists and Doctors More Than RFK Jr. and Federal Health Agencies

“Americans don’t trust our public health agencies because of RFK Jr.,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “This poll reinforces that doctors, scientists, and health care professionals continue to hold the highest level of trust, as trust in federal health agencies decline under RFK Jr.’s leadership. From cherry-picking data, to citing fake studies and replacing career scientists with wellness influencers, RFK Jr. has shattered confidence in America’s world-renowned public health organizations. While it will take years to rebuild trust and confidence, the best thing Americans can do right now is elect pro-science candidates who will stand up to Trump and RFK Jr. This is our moment—the midterms are shaping up to be the health care election and 314 Action candidates are uniquely positioned to win.”
