Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massa.) Sounds the alarm on the president Donald Trump’s Attempts to revise leadership at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning of risks of public health.
‘These fools cannot be familiar with your health’
On Thursday, in a post on X, Warren criticized the changes of the Trump administration on the CDC and said: “Donald Trump purifies the CDC leadership and suggested the man who led RFK Jr., a ‘great work’ after measles shops had a record high.”
Here she refers to Jim O’Neillwhich currently serves as the deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services, working under secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.and has now been chosen to serve as acting director for the CDC, after the expulsion of Susan Monarez On Wednesday.

Warren’s message is accompanied by a video clip of O’Neill’s senate mounting hearing, where she has pointed out to Kennedy’s repeated missteps in recent months.
“In just last week, Secretary Kennedy made several inaccurate claims about the measles vaccine,” she said, adding that his department actively suppressed the scientific analysis and has cut critical support programs.
‘Under his [Kennedy’s] Leadership, HHS has censored CDC analysis on the importance of measles vaccinations. Canceled research into vaccine hesitation and drew financing that use local health departments to help parents vaccinate their children, “she said, asked O’Neill if he was okay with these issues.
O Warren concluded her message and said, “These fools cannot be familiar with your health.”
Vaccine stocks remain under pressure
Since the appointment of Kennedy as Minister of Health and Human Services, leading vaccine shares have been under pressure.
Kennedy, who has been a vocal anti-vaccin activist, axo the entire CDC vaccine panel in June, because according to him the panel had become a “rubber stamp for each vaccine” and was compromised by “persistent conflicts of interest”.
He then continued by naming different vaccincritics in the panel, including Robert MaloneA prominent opponent of mrna vaccine, and RESEF LEVIHe has called for their immediate withdrawal.
At the beginning of this month, the FDA decided not to renew Pfizer Inc. Pfe Authorization for COVID-19 recordings for younger children, who only a few months after Kennedy announced that the vaccine will no longer be the recommended shots for pregnant women and healthy children.
On Wednesday, Kennedy withdrew the authorizations of the emergency use for all COVID-19 vaccines, including those made by Modern Inc. Mrna And Novavax Inc. NVAX.
Two companies in the US that make measles vaccines are Merck & Co., Inc. MRKwhich is currently the only supplier of the MMR or measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in the country, followed by GSK PLC GSKwhose priorix vaccine was recently approved by the FDA, as an alternative to the MMR van Merck.
