The abrupt resignation of Thomas Corry from his position as the assistant secretary for public affairs within the Department of Health and Human Services raises concerns about the inner workings of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s team. Only two weeks post swearing-in, Corry's resignation follows fallout from Kennedy's handling of a measles outbreak discussion, where he appeared indifferent. Insiders indicate Corry's frustrations were compounded by a lack of communication with Kennedy and trust issues within the inner circle, raising questions about future department dynamics.
“Unlike previous officials in the role, who usually closely work with the secretary, Corry had been cut off from Kennedy, one former HHS official said.”
“Corry's frustrations extended beyond that as his office triaged a deluge of inquiries on agency actions ranging from canceled vaccines meetings to stalled research funding.”
“Kennedy claimed he never met Corry and did not know much about his former top spokesperson.”
“Kennedy said, ‘I think that individual had personnel problems and was about to be terminated.’”
