Approaches to public health and life -saving vaccines are in line in the Battle of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health and Human Service Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of FIRP to Fire CDC Susan Mores It is more than an administrative shaking. The launch is represented by Kennedy’s main attacks to capture Kennedy’s agency’s control and significant influence on the lives and health of all Americans, while Kennedy’s main attacks to impose scientific agenda.
Kennedy wants to see Pfizer and Moderna. Messenger RNA base Covid-19 vaccines are taken from the market. According to the two people who are familiar with the plan that they have not been identified because they do not have the authority to talk to the media. He also set a vision of restricting or interrupting access to some pediatric vacancy, said some public health leaders.
His behavior has already reduced the federal help for the state, creating more infectious diseases and the possibility of developing food -mediated diseases. Some public health leaders say that Kennedy will use CDC to promote health information that is not based on science.
“This is a crazy season.” Richard betterFormer acting CDC director of the Obama administration. “People want information to make a critical decision on health. So far, we have been able to see CDC. Unfortunately, we can’t do so anymore.”
HHS spokesman Emily Hilliard appealed to criticism.
In his statement, Hilliard said, “Kennedy has firmly committed national promises nationwide nationwide and dismantled the failure of the public’s trust in the nation’s chronic diseases and public health institutions.”
Kush Desai, a White House spokesman, said he needed Kennedy, Food Drug Commissioner and Marty Makary and that the covid shots would remain for Americans who wanted.
Desai said in an e -mail, “The Trump administration is restoring gold standard science as the only guideline of health decision -making.” “Only fake news can ignore this fact and keep the Democratic dialogue and hysteria.”
After the expansion
It started last week when Kennedy tried to dismiss Mores, a microbiologist just confirmed in the Senate in July. She I refused to leave This position and her lawyers said that Kennedy tried to drive out her because Kennedy did not dismiss high staff or did not follow non -scientific instructions. 4 best career officials He resigned from CDC on August 27.
CDC’s career employees and some public health groups hoped that President Donald Trump would intervene in Kennedy. Instead, the White House sponsored Kennedy Mores was fired.
On September 1, Trump showed that the pharmaceutical company was working on the covid vaccine, and he did not defend the gun as an additional sign.
“I hope that as many people say, I hope that the operating speed is ‘gorgeous’. Otherwise, we all want to know about it. Trump said Truth.
Trump Speed was an initiative that Trump himself announced in 2020 to accelerate the development of Covid vaccines, including Pfizer and Moderna Shots. The vaccine has turned out to be safe and effective in several clinical trials. According to a study published in Jama Health Forum, I saved about 2.5 million lives worldwide.
According to employees who asked not to be identified by fear of professional retaliation, CDC employees are worried that the next director of the agency will fight for science.
Trump’s support for the exposures of Monarez is a basin moment that signaled that there is no check on Kennedy and his agenda, the public health advisors said. Democratic Party of Senate Leaders, Chuck Schumer, such as Chuck Schumer Kennedy demanded a launch. Hundreds of HHS employees also pleaded with Congress to intervene. Threat science And public health. He is scheduled September 4 testimony Relocation of the Senate Financial Services Commission.
Kennedy told CDC employees that his focus is on raising the reputation and leadership of the agency. The Atlanta -based institution was already releasing after the Trump administration pushed thousands of employees.
Kennedy said, “CDC once again must be a world leader of systemic disease prevention, together, we will restore trust together.” Together, we will rebuilt this organism as a guardian of the intended American health and security.
Nine former CDC directors or acting directors who served in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party criticized Kennedy in the aftermath of the launch of Monarez. influence Public health is “unacceptable and must surprise all Americans regardless of political expectation.”
HHS spokesman Hilliard saw an exception at this point and was nodded to continue to use four coved vaccines.
Last week, however, food pharmaceutical management approved the updated Covid MRNA booster for people aged 65 and over and those with high risk of complications. The CDC also stopped recommending scenes for healthy children and pregnant women. Previously, shots were recommended Anyone for 6 months or more.
As a result, many people who do not meet the standards but want vaccines must be prescribed or consulted with a doctor. Insurance cannot always deal with shots About $ 200. The following major pharmacy Walgreens and CVS It is said that the launch is not available at the pharmacy at all and may need a prescription.
that American Pediatrics Academy On August 19, it broke up with the administration and recommended that all young children would receive a cobid vaccine. Insurance still may not cover the cost in some cases, and parents can be disabled in receiving vaccines without prescription.
Next Movement: Advisory Committee
Kennedy and his team have changed their official Kobad vaccine recommendations, even if there is no new safety problem. 2023-24 Covid MRNA vaccine capacity has prevented considerable diseases and deaths over all ages. Research published in August Led by the Michigan University Research Institute. The virus is dead 1,000 people a week In the US in mid -January, the incident is increasing again and is expected to accelerate this winter.
Kennedy False claim In 2021 it was “made by the most deadly vaccine.” COVID vaccine review is to lead Resume leviOperational Management Professor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Severe damageIncluding death. If the committee is recommended to them, Kennedy and FDA can start the process of removing them from the market.
If you get a MRNA -based cobid shot from the market, consumers will have less protection options. Paxlovid, a antiviral drug that treats high -risk adult infections, will be available.
The CDC Advisory Committee, which reviewed the COVID shot, also investigates long links between aluminum, which is used for many childhood vaccinations, such as ACs and pneumonia, such as hepatitis and pneumonia.
Some public health officials said the results of the organization are expected to support the wrong linkage. HHS can require pharmaceutical companies to carry out expensive reforms or to stop manufacturing.
Besser said, “This will remove all childhood vaccines.
Advisory group Next meeting Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA.) Indefinitely. Cassidy, the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee, voted for Kennedy’s confirmation as a HHS secretary. After receiving guaranteeHe said a long -time anti -vaccine would not interfere with the American vaccination system. Kennedy’s promise said he would not change the CDC’s vaccination advisory committee.
Kennedy removed all members of the panel in June and replaced it with his nominee, including the antivacin activist.
Kennedy’s movement to stamp on CDC means a state that has long depended on the institution’s expertise and helped the crisis such as the development of disease. Ashish JhaFrom 2022 to 2023, he served as Covid Response Coordinator for President Joe Biden.
JHA said, “The state will remain. Our system is not designed to go alone. “
CDC is usually played An important role Especially by supporting disease monitoring, public health intervention and development response when a crisis occurs over the state. This year, more than 1,400 cases of measles occurred nationwide, and the state of state, including Texas, was confirmed. I struggled to get help In CDC.
CDC programs that have been tracked in the food for a long time in the food Reduced numbers Public health leaders say that public health leaders are more difficult to identify the onset of the dangers of 8 to 2. Employees who supervise the CDC program, which tracks outdoor pollution that can worsen asthma, have also been cut.
The organization operates a hotline where doctors all over the country can call for treatment and other types of advice. Under Kennedy’s clock, CDC said it should be supported by employee reduction. Infectious Disease Society.
Armstrong said, “Life is 100% dangerous.” “It is only destructive that you can’t trust the CDC’s recommendations anymore. It’s terrible to think that the information is no longer a science base.”
Kennedy tries to shake CDC leadership because he sees the institution as the core of corruption and resistance within federal health bureaucracy. Kennedy said the agency is suffering. Unpleasant and prejudice.
However, many public health leaders believe that the CDC is seen as a siege by the administration. HHS staff signed In the letter Kennedy has more than 6,800 signatures, and Kennedy said, “It threatens the health of the country by repeatedly spreading inappropriate health information.”
Kennedy is also preventing criticism of his response to the shooting in the CDC headquarters. He first posted a few hours later and responded to social media. Your own fly fishing photo.
Some young employees are considering leaving, and some workers feel as if they have accelerated Kennedy’s agency by shooting.
As the battle for CDC control is still intense, public health leaders are now looking for parliament to brake on Kennedy. Some Republican lawmakers demanded Kennedy’s actions.
