The ousted CDC director said today that RFK Jr. had told her that he had briefed Trump on plans to change the childhood vaccine channel — a fairly revealing thing, if true. A WH spox didn't address that claim either way in responding to her testimony. www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/m...

On the one hand, these purported comments by an HHS secretary about CDC staff are astonishing. On the other, they echo much of what RFK Jr. has said publicly in the past. Via @danielpayne.bsky.social @isabellacueto.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/m...
