A day after nine managers for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he wrote that Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior at the agency Is “unlike anything our country has ever seen,” Pay again in the opening of the Wall Street Journal.
The Center for Disease Control was “the day of the guardian of public health in the world”, Kennedy Books on Tuesday in the Wall Street magazine. “Its mission – to protect Americans from infectious diseases – was clear and noble. But over the decades, the bureaucratic stalemate, the Messianic sciences and the task crawled this purpose and the audience’s confidence was used to.”
He argues that the agency must return to its original focus on infectious diseases, and to stay away from efforts to improve public health by transmitting programs that focus on chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease away from the center of control over diseases.
He described the nation’s response to the epidemic as “a failure”, saying that public health officials gave priority “fabric masks on young children, and exclusively, with 6 feet length, relying on healthy children, closing long schools, hip -horse games, suppressing low -cost treatments in favor of experimental and falling.”
“The Center for Disease Control must restore public confidence – and the restoration process has started.”
Kennedy’s editorial followed the past few weeks at the agency, starting from shooting at the agency’s headquarters in Atlanta last month and rejected the director of the Center for Disease Control Susan Monarerez. Monares, which was nominated by President Donald Trump, served only in the role for about a month.
The shooting resigned to many senior officials of the Disease Control Center in protest and background between the Monares lawyer and the White House. It also fueled the protest of employees outside the agency’s headquarters in Atlanta last week and huge evidence in the New York Times from nine former managers on Monday, describing Kennedy as “Dangerous”.
In his opening article on Tuesday, Kennedy did not address the questions surrounding Monares or his recent actions on vaccines. Instead, he blamed the Biden administration for errors during the epidemic and criticized how the center of diseases control over the years has expanded.
Disease Control Center Founded in 1946 Focusing to prevent malaria from spreading throughout the country. Over time, its actions expanded to include other infectious diseases – such as polio, smallpox and viruses – as well as public health issues such as chronic diseases, bulletproofing, biological terrorism, and the prevention of global injuries and health.
In his article, Kennedy argued that the role of the expanding agency led to an “irrational policy” during the epidemic.
He wrote: “The road forward is clear: restoring the concentration of the center of control over diseases on infectious diseases, investing in innovation, and rebuilding confidence through integrity and transparency.”
Durit Reese, a California vaccine expert in San Francisco, described “misfortune” and “hypocrisy” from Kennedy, “from hypocrisy”, given his own work since he took office.
Reese said that Kennedy benefits from the general frustration of the epidemic to justify wider changes that could weaken the agency.
She said that his editorial calls call on the agency to protect the public from the threats of infectious diseases, the application of “golden science” and the support of societies – but many centers of the Diseases Control Center are already designated for these initiatives. Kennedy repeated his call to transfer the proxy chronic diseases programs to a new entity called “America’s Health Administration”. (Health ministers cannot create this agency alone and it will need help from Congress, as Reese added.)
She said: “Mr. Kennedy disturbs the ability of the Diseases Control Center to respond to infectious diseases, and works to undermine confidence in it, and not to do anything to improve confidence.”
Throughout the summer, Kennedy launched all members of a influential committee in childhood vaccines and replaced them with its members, and some of them are known as anti -vaccine activists.
Last month, he also announced that the Food and Drug Administration has narrowed its approval of Covid shots for this fall, which limits this to people 65 and above and those who suffer from basic medical conditions.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services did not respond to the comment.
Kennedy is scheduled to witness before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, where he is expected to face questions surrounding the presence of the center of diseases and his recent actions on Covid shots.
Former nine directors and managers of the Disease Control Center who signed the New York Times editorial: DRS. William Fawig, William Robert, David Satcher, Jeffrey Koplan, Richard Besser, Tom Frieden, Ann Shuchhat, Roshil B. The Lensky and Mandy Cohen.
They accused Kennedy of a concentration “on unpaid treatments while reducing vaccine jobs.”
Kennedy added, “Investments were canceled in promising medical research, which will leave us, not ready for future health emergencies,” Kennedy added.
Last week, Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La, who was a major vote in Kennedy’s assertion, called for the center of diseases control to postpone the Consultative Committee for Evidence Practices this month amid the defeat of the Center for Control of Diseases and Criticism of Kennedy.
