Former CDC leaders slam RFK Jr for endangering Americans’ health

Nine former officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have strongly criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s potential leadership of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In a New York Times essay, the former CDC leaders warned that Kennedy's actions and beliefs "should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings." The ex-officials stated that Kennedy's leadership at HHS would be "unlike anything our country has ever experienced" and "unacceptable." They expressed concerns that Kennedy's views and actions could endanger the health and well-being of Americans. The former CDC leaders emphasized that Kennedy's approach is "unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency" and could have significant consequences for public health in the United States.
