RFK Jr fires top NIH scientist weeks after she files whistleblower complaint
In a controversial move, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US health secretary, has fired Jeanne Marrazzo, a top scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), just three weeks after she filed a whistleblower complaint against the Trump administration. The complaint reportedly involved the administration's hostility towards vaccines. Marrazzo had previously been demoted in March from her senior position as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The firing comes shortly after she had filed the whistleblower complaint, raising concerns about the administration's approach to vaccination policies and research. The decision to terminate Marrazzo's employment at the NIH has raised questions about the potential retaliation against whistleblowers and the administration's stance on public health issues, particularly in the context of the ongoing pandemic.
