In August 2025, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department experienced chaos marked by significant events, including 180 shots fired and 150 broken windows linked to a shooting at the CDC. This turmoil coincided with a series of firings and resignations, particularly involving the controversial figure Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who serves as the nation’s top public health official. Democrats, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are demanding Kennedy’s removal, accusing him of profiting from vaccine mistrust and undermining public health. They assert that his leadership has brought serious threats to established scientific understanding and public safety.
Amid the uproar, Kennedy’s response to a recent shooting incident at the CDC has drawn criticism for being slow, and he has dismissed the CDC Chief Susan Monarez. His record as a vaccine skeptic and promoter of unverified medical treatments raises concerns about his authority, especially regarding Medicaid decisions. Notably, while many in the scientific community see Kennedy’s position as dangerous, the likelihood of his removal appears slim. The White House has publicly praised Kennedy, with Deputy Chief Stephen Miller calling him a “crown jewel” of the administration, suggesting continued support despite the mounting pressure for his ousting. Overall, the situation underscores a significant divide in public health leadership and policy amidst escalating tensions.
