US Health and Human Services Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He rejected two of his top helpers – Chief of Staff Heather Flick Melanson and deputy staff for politics Hannah Anderson – Agency spokesman on Wednesday (July 16).
This step, which comes only months after the two assisted their contributions, is part of a wider shock to the ward because Kennedy is pushing the aggressive agenda to restructuring HHS.
The new reigning chief of the staff appointed
Matt Buckham, who currently serves as a combination of the White House Secretary, will take over as the acting chief of the staff with an immediate effect. In his current role, Buckham oversees recruitment and on board political denominators across a large health agency.
Restructuring is pushing the faces of a legal roadblock
Since Kennedy has taken over the office, Kennedy has proposed to sweep changes, including the plan to reorganize more agencies and significantly reduce employees. At the beginning of this month, however, the federal judge blocked the administration attempt to perform this restructuring.
It remains unclear whether a particular event caused the removal of Meanson and Anderson, or whether it was part of Kennedy’s continuing effort to transform the department’s management.
Controversial attitude of vaccine and shock panel CDC
Kennedy, a long -time critic of vaccines, despite a huge scientific consensus on their safety and efficiency, made subtitles in June, rejecting all 17 members of the independent panel that advises centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC) on the policy of the vaccine. Later he replaced them with only seven new hand -selected ones.
Twin release this week is the latest development at the turbulent beginning of Kennedy’s term of office as a secretary of HHS, with political movements that brought control from legislators, public health and court officials.
