 Folks, Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK Jr., is setting a dangerous precedent: The Washington Post: RFK Jr. purges 17-member CDC vaccine committee, appoints political allies RFK Jr. just fired an entire panel of top vaccine experts at the CDC, and replaced most of them with anti-science allies of his so-called Make America Healthy Again movement. Time and again, this administration chooses politics over public health. It should be obvious, but this reckless move will only put our communities at risk and leave the entire nation less safe and less healthy. It's irresponsible, dangerous, and equally as harmful as the billions of dollars they’ve gutted from scientific research. Take it from me, perhaps the only scientist in the Senate: We need more scientists working to prevent deadly pandemics and keep Americans safe from infectious diseases, not less. And I refuse to stand by while RFK Jr. guts the vital work CDC experts do to keep Americans safe, and replace them with yes men. I’m doing everything I can to oppose the Trump administration’s constant attacks on science and medical research, but I cannot do this alone.
Thank you. John |
