Episode notes
In this eye-opening episode of Docology, Dr. Howard Zucker sits down with Kevin Griffis, the former Head of Communications for the CDC, to discuss why he recently resigned and wrote a scathing editorial criticizing how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running the Department of Health and Human Services.
Griffis shares his concerns about RFK Jr. freezing out government scientists in favor of what he calls fringe activists, recent drastic cuts in public health funding, questionable vaccine research agendas, and the favoring of politics over science in the government’s health communication. As public trust in the CDC faces new challenges, Griffiths sounds the alarm on how these changes could impact public safety, especially with threats like avian flu and measles still looming.
