Top CDC vaccine official resigns amid growing scrutiny of agency’s flawed science
CDC Acting Director Jim O’Neill resigns amid sweeping changes to vaccine policy under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy’s administration removes COVID-19 vaccines from recommended schedules for healthy children and pregnant women, bypassing traditional advisory panels like ACIP.
Trump/Kennedy appointees push back against Pharma-backed policies, dismantling combination vaccines (e.g., MMR) in favor of single-dose formulations. Critics like Dr. Joseph Mercola argue CDC’s historical ties to Big Pharma compromised vaccine safety reviews, especially for COVID shots.
Resignations mount as CDC staff resist Kennedy’s reforms, including O’Neill’s departure and the appointment of new FDA advisors (Kyle Diamantas, Grace Graham). Louisiana Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Abraham condemns CDC’s pandemic-era “bullying” over “experimental” COVID vaccines and suppressed injury data.
Investigations (e.g., The BMJ, 2024) expose CDC officials holding undisclosed Pfizer/Moderna stock while voting to add COVID vaccines to childhood schedules. Kennedy’s agenda prioritizes decentralizing public health power, informed consent and probing previously ignored vaccine injury claims.
With ACIP’s influence diminished and the CDC director’s seat vacant, U.S. vaccine policy faces unprecedented uncertainty. Kennedy’s team declares an end to “one-size-fits-all mandates,” but rebuilding public trust after years of regulatory capture remains a challenge.
