The efforts by the current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary to push out leadership at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and undercut evidence-backed vaccine reviews endangers the American public. As the largest organization representing the interests of Black physicians, the National Medical Association calls for immediate Congressional oversight of HHS and the CDC to ensure decisions are made based on science by legitimate scientific and medical experts. This is critical to healthcare delivery across our nation.

Dr. Roger A. Mitchell, Jr.

The National Medical Association stands firm: stability and transparency at the CDC are non-negotiable. When our nation’s leading public health agency is in turmoil, every community is affected. Oversight and accountability are essential to restore trust and ensure the CDC can fulfill its mission to protect the health of the American people. It’s time for Congress to act. #NMA #PublicHealth #Accountability #CDC
