CDC Official: RFK Jr. Ignores Experts, Gets No Briefings
According to a departing CDC official, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not been briefed by CDC experts before making key public health decisions, despite multiple requests. This claim was made by Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned in protest of the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez and cited concerns that the agency was being used to promote policies lacking scientific basis. Daskalakis further revealed that the health secretary’s office had declined offers for briefings from CDC experts, which he found highly atypical. These revelations have led to calls for investigations and criticism of Kennedy’s actions.
