Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, a top official at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
According to reports, Marrazzo, the former head of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), filed a whistleblower complaint against the Trump administration for alleged hostility towards vaccines.
Marrazzo had already been demoted in March from her leadership position in the NIAID.

“My termination, unfortunately, shows that the leaders of HHS and the National Institutes of Health do not share my commitment to scientific integrity and public health,” Marrazzo wrote in a statement following her firing, according to CBS News.
“Congress must act to protect scientific research from those who would serve political interests first,” she added.
