RFK Jr’s actions risk restricting children’s access to vaccines, say ousted CDC officials
Former CDC officials have accused Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of undermining the agency's ability to effectively respond to disease outbreaks and public health threats. Susan Monarez, the CDC director chosen by Kennedy, was fired after less than a month, while Debra Houry, the CDC's chief medical officer, resigned after serving under six directors from both Republican and Democratic administrations. The officials testified before a Senate committee, stating that the CDC under Kennedy's influence is "supporting policies not based in science" and that his actions risk restricting children's access to vaccines. The testimony highlighted concerns about Kennedy's influence within the CDC and the potential impact on public health and disease prevention efforts.
