I've sent this letter: As a citizen, and physician, I am appalled at the lack of response from the AMA with respect to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for HHS secretary. Can you please explain you inaction? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/im-a-doctor-and-im-appalled-at-the-silence-from-the-american-medical-association/ additionally: On AMA’s silence in the face of Trump’s violation of their standards On Trump’s removal of sanctuary status for hospitals On AMA’s silence around the government’s lack of action on bird flu On physician burnout On the "pausing" MMWR On the disconnection from WHO Your considered input on this and other crucial health related matters is critical to the health of American citizens, and indeed throughout the world.

and a link to the MJ article to the AMA at their website. And I suggest others do so as well.
