Experts call on US Health Secretary RFK Jr to resign over misinformation
"Our country needs leadership that will promote open, honest dialogue, not disregard decades of lifesaving science, spread misinformation, reverse medical progress and decimate programs that keep us safe. We are gravely concerned that American people will needlessly suffer and die as a result of policies that turn away from sound interventions."
"More than 20 health groups and medical associations have called on Robert F Kennedy Jr to step down as the United States' health secretary, accusing him of putting lives at risk by disregarding decades of lifesaving science and reversing medical progress."
"White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai said Monarez was not aligned with President Donald Trump's agenda and refused to resign, so the White House terminated her. Monarez's lawyers said she had been targeted as she refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."
More than 20 health groups and medical associations called on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to step down as United States health secretary, accusing him of putting lives at risk by disregarding decades of lifesaving science and reversing medical progress. Named organizations included the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Public Health Association, and the American Association of Immunologists. The groups accused Kennedy of forcing CDC experts to turn their back on sound science to further his agenda and of undermining public health in ways that leave Americans less safe. His actions coincided with the firing of CDC director Susan Monarez and resignations of other top officials, with legal claims that Monarez resisted unscientific directives.
