Salud Política

Según AP News, el 30 de julio el Comité de Salud, Educación, Trabajo y Pensiones del Senado votó para avanzar la nominación de la doctora Erica Schwartz como directora de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, afirmando que puede mantener los estándares científicos. El senador Bill Cassidy había criticado previamente el sitio web de los CDC por afirmar una relación entre vacunas y autismo, calificándola de engañosa y potencialmente generadora de desconfianza en las vacunas.

Más tarde, señaló que la nueva cláusula de descargo de responsabilidad del sitio lo convenció de apoyar a Schwartz, indicando que ella reportará al secretario de Salud Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
