In the aftermath of an attack on the main campus for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Aug. 8, employees at the CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other health agencies are calling for support and leadership from their boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<\/p>\n

A letter signed by hundreds<\/a> of current and former HHS employees, addressed to Kennedy and members of Congress, says Kennedy is “complicit in dismantling America’s public health infrastructure and endangering the nation’s health” by questioning the integrity of the CDC’s workforce, making false claims that COVID vaccines are not safe or effective, changing vaccine policy based on ideology rather than science, and contributing to “harassment and violence experienced by the CDC staff.”<\/p>\n
