RFK Jr. won't back CDC director on vaccines as agency scraps positive data

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal anti-vaccine advocate, refuses to support evidence-based vaccine policies from the next CDC director and has removed scientific data conflicting with his views. Trump-nominated CDC director Erica Schwartz, a respected public health official, faces challenges under Kennedy, who previously ousted the prior CDC director, Susan Monarez, for resisting his anti-vaccine agenda.
