Description

“After more than 40 years in the public health arena, it might surprise some of my colleagues to know I think President Trump chose the right man for the job: Robert Kennedy, Jr.,” writes Dr. Robert Redfield, former Director of the CDC, in an earth-shattering op-ed for Newsweek that blames processed foods, pesticides, and pharma’s financial priorities for America’s chronic health epidemic. “It’s time to make America healthy again,” he continues. “Kennedy is right: All three of the principal health agencies suffer from agency capture… And as the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I know the agency can be influenced by special interest groups.” Dr. Robert Redfield is a virologist, infectious disease expert, and former Director of the CDC. He served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and Operation Warp Speed board. Previously, he co-founded the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology, served as Chief of Infectious Diseases at UMD School of Medicine, and founded the Department of Retroviral Research in the U.S. Military. A Georgetown Medical graduate, he advised President Bush on HIV/AIDS and Governor Hogan on public health.
