A senior vaccine expert at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has resigned in protest, warning that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sweeping changes to vaccine policy and leadership are endangering public health.
Widely respected infectious disease specialist Dr. Fiona Havers stepped down after 13 years at the CDC on Monday, citing Kennedy's decision to fire all 17 members of the vaccine advisory panel last week. Of the eight replacements named so far, half are known to be skeptical of vaccines.
