"I'm deeply concerned about the health and safety of our nation under RFK's current leadership, Adams told Blackwell, later adding: I absolutely believe he is uniquely damaging the credibility of federal agencies like the CDC, (National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration) and he's putting us at risk. The former surgeon general also raised concerns about Trump's close relationship with Kennedy, arguing that the president should take charge of health policy."
"When asked by CNN's Victor Blackwell on Saturday if Trump should fire Kennedy, Adams said, I absolutely believe that he should for the sake of the nation and the sake of his legacy. Adams' comments come after a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill earlier this week, where Kennedy was grilled by both Democrats and Republicans about his views on vaccines and the recent exodus at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including the resignation of its director, over tighter vaccine policies Kennedy was pushing."
Jerome Adams called for the removal of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing serious concerns about vaccine approval handling and public health risks. Adams said Kennedy is damaging the credibility of federal agencies including the CDC, NIH and FDA and that tighter vaccine policies pushed by Kennedy prompted staff departures and the CDC director's resignation. Adams criticized President Trump for deferring to Kennedy on health matters and warned that Kennedy's leadership threatens national health and Trump’s legacy. Adams expressed hope that Trump will recognize the danger and act to protect public health and institutional trust.
