CDC Crisis Under Kennedy Leadership Disrupts Food Safety, Vaccine Availability, and Public Health in Uncharted Waters

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently experiencing a crisis under the leadership of Director Rochelle Walensky Kennedy, which is affecting public health infrastructure across the United States. Experts and insiders report that this turmoil is spilling into real-world consequences, including challenges in food safety, vaccine availability, and a loss of trust and talent within the agency. As a result, outside groups and individual scientists and physicians are increasingly stepping in to perform work traditionally managed by the CDC. The situation has created a growing sense of despair within the agency and has plunged the public health sector into what experts describe as "uncharted waters." This disruption poses risks to the overall health infrastructure of the country.
