'President Donald Trump and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put the nation at risk today and made us all far less safe by firing thousands of dedicated public health, medical and scientific staff across multiple agencies at HHS.
Trump and Kennedy fired career staff at agencies like the Agency for Children and Families and the Agency for Community Living (which provides nutritious, healthy “Meals on Wheels” to tens of millions of senior citizens). Those agencies were decimated, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.
The Food and Drug Administration was hit especially hard. Trump and Kennedy fired staff with years of public health, scientific and medical expertise – career public servants who keep drugs safe and effective, who protect patients in clinical trials, and who fight every single day to safeguard us from potential pandemics like avian flu. The FDA staff who work on those were all fired.
“I'm overwhelmed with messages about the firings,” Biden’s former FDA Commissioner, Robert Califf, wrote on LinkedIn. “The FDA as we've known it is finished, with most of the leaders with institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of product development and safety no longer employed. I believe that history will see this as a huge mistake.”'
