Dr. Fiona Havers, a prominent CDC official, resigned in protest against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s directives to amend vaccine recommendations and alter the advisory committee. In her email to colleagues, she expressed concern over the objectivity and scientific rigor of the data used for vaccine policy. Havers' resignation has been interpreted as part of a larger trend of undermining the CDC's scientific authority. The Department of Health and Human Services defended its approach to vaccine policy, stating it will adhere to the highest standards of scientific integrity.
I no longer have confidence that these data will be used objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions.
It's a big loss to the CDC, indicative of the dismantling of the agency's expertise.
