"I’m Really Scared” Vaccine Doctor Quits CDC After RFK Jr.’s Committee Purge

Season 2025 Episode 7258 | 18m 35s

In the U.S., the controversial new CDC vaccine panel held its first meeting today. Health Secretary RFK Jr. has axed America's decades-old vaccine advisory panel, despite having told Congress during his nomination hearings that he never would. This action prompted Dr. Fiona Havers to leave the CDC. She joins the program to discuss the stakes for the future of American health.
