RFK Jr accused of hollowing out HHS as staff cuts mount

Original: # HHS & many Americans are struggling to survive bc # RFKJr 🚨has ZOMBIFIED the agency: "30% fewer staff, scientists side

Critics say Health and Human Services under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been left badly weakened, with roughly 30% fewer staff and scientists sidelined by political interference. Anger is focused on the agency's new director, who pledged to follow the science but instead questioned Pennsylvania's announcement of two measles deaths. Commenters argue Americans who rely on the agency's public health work are suffering as a result.

Why now: Fresh reports of deep HHS staffing cuts and the agency disputing confirmed measles deaths have reignited alarm over public health leadership.
