First vaccines, now mammograms? RFK Jr.’s latest firings have doctors outraged.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired two vice chairs of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), leaving the critical panel with eight vacancies. The firings have sparked outrage from top medical groups who are concerned about the impact on recommendations for preventive care services like mammograms and colonoscopies. Kennedy has also previously blocked the panel from releasing recommendations and prevented it from meeting by failing to replace departing members.
