Nine former leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are sounding the alarm on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In a scathing New York Times op-ed, the ex-directors accused RFK Jr. of 'endangering every American’s health' by undermining science, firing CDC director Susan Monarez, cutting funding, and replacing experts with vaccine skeptics. Monarez’s firing triggered mass resignations inside the CDC and intensified concerns that public health is being sidelined by politics.
