Kennedy Jr.'s CDC Shake-Up Sparks Concerns Over Public Health
TL;DR
An NYT Magazine exposé shows that since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became head of Health and Human Services, he has targeted the CDC with firings and leadership churn, sidelined scientists in favor of political appointees, replaced vaccine experts on ACIP with allies, and even promoted unproven measles treatments during outbreaks. With the agency largely leaderless for most of the past year and a court halting some vaccine-policy changes, critics warn that public health is being steered by ideology rather than science.
