RFK runs HHS which oversees multiple grant, research, and review organizations in the federal government. This includes the NIH, which has been gutted of experts that don’t share the political ideology of the political arm of the executive and / or aren’t willing to say untruths in service of their political agenda. The news is replete with stories of experts being purged leaving entire areas of research unstaffed; from various cancers to HIV to genetic engineering. Of course the same is true in other areas, such as NOAA, EPA, FEMA, etc that will cause more acute harm. The research harms will play out over decades.
