Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has continued to interfere with federal vaccine policy, despite efforts by the Trump administration to rein in his anti-vaccine agenda. This comes after the nomination of Erica Schwartz as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a respected physician and former public health official who has championed the use of vaccines. Despite this, Kennedy refused to commit to supporting evidence-based vaccine policy and said he wouldn't interfere with the agency's recommendations. This follows reports that political appointees have discarded scientific data that conflicts with Kennedy's anti-vaxine views.
