"So, if we're headed now in a direction where we can't trust these agencies as they're being dismantled and, you know, we have these reports that by next month there is going to be some kind of report that attempts to tie vaccines to autism, for example, and stuff that isn't actually based in science, who should Americans then rely on for health guidance?"
"Americans need to rely on their physicians and Americans need to rely on what the groups, the professional groups in the United States, like the American Association of Pediatrics and American College of Gynecology the kind of guidance that we hear from these professional groups, you know, ultimately, the the nation's doctors and health care providers are really the boots on the ground, Reiner said."
"And, you know, my colleagues around, around this country have devoted their lives to protecting the health of their patients and their communities. And these are the people that Americans should go to for information. If you're pregnant and you want to know whether you should be vaccinated, talk to your obstetrician. If you're wondering this flu season and Covid season whether you should vaccinate your kids, talk to your pediatrician."
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed CDC director Dr. Susan Monarez, prompting departures and an op-ed from nine former CDC directors accusing leadership of ignoring science and endangering public health. Dr. Jonathan Reiner warned Americans not to trust HHS leadership and urged reliance on physicians and professional medical organizations. Reiner cited groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology as sources of validated guidance. He recommended that pregnant people consult obstetricians and parents consult pediatricians about vaccinations and seasonal illness precautions.
