Former CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Deb Houry says Health Secretary RFK Jr. has cased “irreparable harm” to public health.
"Growing number of states, 29 plus DC, have announced they're no longer following CDC recommendations as a benchmark for childhood vaccines. This is too much. Do you think that public health and faith in public health can be restored? I think the secretary has caused a lot of irreparable harm. And when you look at many of the polls out there, the trust in public health, specifically CDC, has decreased dramatically, over 20 points in many polls. That's really difficult to recover from. And when states are removing links to the CDC website and following other medical organizations, I don't know how you build back that trust overnight."
