RFK Jr. to gut vaccine promotion and HIV prevention office, sources say
Source: CBS News
The entire staff of the federal government's Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy is expected to be laid off, multiple federal health officials told CBS News Friday. The moves are part of a broader restructuring plan ordered by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that involves cutting 20,000 HHS positions.
Much of the government's efforts to buoy lagging childhood vaccination rates nationwide have been run through OIDP, including a new campaign called "Let's Get Real" that had launched in the final months of the Biden administration to provide resources and information to health care providers talking to hesitant parents.
"Spreading the truth saves lives, so use our resources to help parents understand how vaccines work, why they're safe, and how they help protect kids," the department had said of the campaign after it was launched.
The Office of Minority Health has also been informed that it should expect to be dissolved, sources said.

Glad I saw this post in time to avoid a dupe! 
Vaccine deniers make me sick. RFK Jr makes me especially sick, because he'sin such a pisition of power. I am SO glad I don't have school age kids or grandkids. I wonder how many kids he's going to kill before he's through? 
He's such a disgusting, self-righteous know-it-all! Imagine having such an illustrious name and misusing it the way he has!
