Former FDA, CDC leaders warn that US vaccine policy is under threat

Former US public health officials are sounding alarms about significant changes being made to the country’s vaccine policy under the Trump administration. Two public letters this week — one from former commissioners of the US Food and Drug Administration and one from former leaders at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — warn that health leadership spearheaded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a panel of recently appointed advisers are putting the public’s health at risk with a haphazard approach to vaccine science.
