RFK Jr. Plant 10,000 HHS -JOBKURZENTUREN

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary for Health and Human Services, plans to reduce 10,000 full-time employees in various departments because he has changed the state’s federal health agencies, confirmed an HHS spokesman on Thursday.

These job cuts are in addition to around 10,000 employees who have decided to leave HHS since President Donald Trump accepted his office through voluntary separation offers. The Wall Street Journal previously reported on the cuts.

HHS is an agency of 1.7 trillion dollars that monitors vaccines and other medicines, scientific research, infrastructure for public health, pandemic readiness as well as food and tobacco products. The department also manages the state-funded health care of millions of Americans-domestic seniors, disabled people and patients with lower incomes who rely on Medicare, Medicaid and the markets of the Affordable Care Act.

If the department fully implemented the job cuts, it will shed about a quarter -a federal health staff, including the voluntary outputs, the journal reported. This would reduce the department of the department to 62,000 employees.

HHS will also drop five of his 10 regional offices, but according to the journal, the essential health services are not affected.

Before he was confirmed, Kennedy promised to end what he describes as “corporate corruption” at federal health agencies and entered the Trump administration employees.

He had said that he would provide “entire departments” at the FDA and said that workers who should stand in the way of the approval of several controversial or dubious treatments should prepare to “pack their pockets”.

Kennedy, a prominent vaccine skeptic, has already taken early steps that have an impact on immunization policy and further dampens the admission in the United States at a time when the vaccination rates decrease in childhood.

He said that he would check the schedule for the vaccination in childhood and, according to reports, is preparing to remove and replace members of external committees who advise the government, among other things, on vaccination moods and other important decisions for public health.

His so -called power America Health is again obliged to end the epidemic of chronic diseases in children and adults. Kennedy was loud to produce nutritious food as a drug, which is of central importance for this goal.
