RFK Jr. took the CDC pledge off the website entirely last month and replaced it with a conspiracy screed. they took it down because don’t believe in any of it. what a small, sad man compared to walt dowdle
The Pledge to the American People was a foundation for Walter Dowdle’s Mountin lecture in 1990, and it used to be as prominent on our website as this 20ft mural in the lobby of one of our buildings.
