Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is facing calls to step down from over 1,000 current former staff from his department, who accuse him of “compromising the health of the nation.”
The demand comes after Susan Monarez resigned as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, less than a month into her tenure, following a clash with the secretary over vaccine policy, prompting four other officials to follow her through the door in a show of solidarity.
