Public Health at a Crossroads: Kennedy’s CDC Reshapes Science into Policy

A New York Times oral history reveals that after RFK Jr. became health secretary, the CDC was transformed from a science-led agency into a politically driven one: thousands of staff were fired or forced out, the ACIP was purged and reconstituted with vaccine skeptics, public communications were tightly controlled, and vaccination policies were dramatically altered without the usual scientific checks. The result, according to current and former CDC employees, is a weakened public-health infrastructure and a public increasingly exposed to health threats, as measles outbreaks and vaccine controversies unfold under a reoriented governance model.

Kennedy eyes FDA action to widen peptide access and spur a booming market

Health Secretary Kennedy Jr. signals that the FDA will broaden access to peptide therapies—a fast-growing, largely unregulated market—by taking action that could loosen rules for domestic compounding. Supporters say it will improve patient access, while critics warn of safety risks due to limited long-term data and a thriving gray/black market for unproven products. The move comes amid industry litigation, lobbying by compounding pharmacies, and high commercial interest in peptide-based treatments like GLP-1 therapies.

Federal judge halts Kennedy's vaccine policy overhaul, pausing immunization changes

A federal judge blocked Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s sweeping changes to the nation’s childhood immunization schedule, ruling the administration unlawfully altered policy and reconstituted the CDC vaccine advisory panel. The ruling pauses the overhaul as appeals unfold and highlights ongoing disputes over who should shape federal vaccine guidance and how independent expert panels are used in policy decisions.

Kennedy: Iran’s ‘baby steps’ toward nuclear restart justify Trump-era Iran action

Sen. John Kennedy said U.S. intelligence indicated Iran had taken “baby steps” to restart its nuclear program, a claim he says supports Trump’s military operation with Israel against Iran and aims to deter broader conflict. He described a plan from classified briefings to destroy Iran’s navy, air force, missile- and drone-making facilities, and Revolutionary Guard infrastructure before withdrawing. Democrats like Mark Warner disputed the immediacy of a threat, and both chambers failed to pass bipartisan war-powers resolutions. Kennedy argued the conflict would be brief and that Trump isn’t seeking a war, though he joked about the unlikely prospect of US troops on the ground.

Industry warns Kennedy health plan could raise costs and disrupt supply

Industry groups led by the National Association of Manufacturers warn that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again agenda could raise regulatory costs and fragment the food-supply system, pushing for a uniform national standard and a seat at policy talks as Trump recalibrates his messaging ahead of the midterms. The campaign underscores tensions between Kennedy’s push for stricter ingredients rules and the industry’s push to protect prices and investment, even as Trump seeks to rebuild factory towns.

Lions fan files $100M suit over Metcalf in-stands clash, targets media figures

A Detroit Lions fan, Ryan Kennedy, filed a $100 million civil lawsuit in Wayne County against Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for assault and against Chad Johnson, Shannon Sharpe, and Sharpe’s Shay Shay Media for defamation, plus Ford Field for security liability. The suit stems from a December incident in which Metcalf appeared to strike Kennedy during a game; Metcalf was suspended two games. Kennedy alleges Johnson and Sharpe on Nightcap falsely claimed Kennedy used a racial slur toward Metcalf, a claim Kennedy denies and seeks a full public retraction and correction of. The 9-count suit targets Metcalf, Johnson, Sharpe, and Sharpe’s media, with Ford Field listed for liability, and also seeks damages for reputational harm caused by media coverage."

Massachusetts sticks with broader childhood vaccines despite federal changes

Massachusetts will continue to recommend vaccines for all children (hepatitis B, rotavirus, flu, COVID, RSV) following American Academy of Pediatrics guidance, countering federal changes under Health Secretary Kennedy that scaled back the schedule. State officials and several Northeast states are coordinating to adhere to evidence-based immunization, arguing the rollback could sow confusion amid a severe flu season and ongoing child vaccination debates.
