Kennedy Jr. has largely stepped back from running the agency, intervening only when issues capture his attention.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=911\">Archbishop Pulls Plug on Exorcist Priest Over UFO Rant<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a Sunday expos\u00e9 by The New York Times, a dozen people with direct contact with Kennedy, along with Health Department employees, said his leadership\u2014or lack of it\u2014has driven morale down to the point that they question the department\u2019s ability to respond in a crisis.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>People familiar with Kennedy told the outlet he remains narrowly focused on his own priorities, including his long-held skepticism of vaccines. They said he is largely cut off from much of the staff and seldom engaged in the agency\u2019s work, leaving parts of the department without clear leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One example is the Ebola outbreak, which the health secretary has rarely addressed publicly. When asked by ABC News if he was concerned after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed an American had been infected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), he said: \u201cWe\u2019re working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet staffers told The Times that the secretary has received few briefings about the virus, which, according to the CDC, had recorded 452 confirmed cases and 82 confirmed deaths in DRC as of June 4.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy does, staff say, speak daily with acting CDC Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was appointed in February and is known for opposing COVID-19 mask and lockdown mandates and for advocating \u201cfocused protection\u201d for the healthy through natural infection.<\/p>\n<p>In a May interview about the hantavirus outbreak, the acting director\u2014who also leads the National Institutes of Health\u2014stumbled through a CNN interview in which he sought to reassure the public that the agency was on top of the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Bhattacharya was appointed as an interim replacement for Susan Monarez, who was fired in August and later testified that she had refused RFK Jr.\u2019s demands to approve vaccine recommendations she said were not based on science.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s low-profile approach comes as he presides over a growing leadership vacuum, The Times reports, with key roles left vacant as staff leave without being replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=909\">Ghislaine Maxwell Compound Listed for Rent in Mysterious Circumstances<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is currently no surgeon general, the acting head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has been removed, and the Food and Drug Administration chief resigned last month. <\/p>\n<p>Still, despite the turmoil within his agency, staff say that even when Kennedy attends the department\u2019s weekly meetings with the heads of its 13 operating divisions, he shows up only about once a month and appears \u201cchecked out,\u201d though still more present than at the start of his tenure, when they say he was rarely there at all.<\/p>\n<p>According to one attendee who spoke with The Times, the secretary once arrived 15 minutes late to a meeting and entered the room with a self-aware apology: \u201cThank you for putting up with my dysfunctional self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Kennedy does have to do the vital work of protecting American public health, overseeing food and drug safety, and managing major social service programs, he allegedly delegates it to Stefanie Spear, a longtime adviser who has been with him since his days as an environmental lawyer. <\/p>\n<p>People familiar with the matter said all requests for the secretary\u2019s decisions and meetings are routed through Spear, slowing down department operations.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Times, Kennedy frequently tells people, \u201cJust run that by Stefanie,\u201d when asked to take action or make decisions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=907\">MLB Star\u2019s Ex Hit With $176M Verdict for Fatal Car Crash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F.
