In the wake of the CDC shooting incident, federal employees are urging Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to implement increased safety measures and protections
The employees of several health agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), are collectively seeking support and leadership from Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. following a devastating attack on Aug. 8.
The incident, which took place on the CDC's main campus in Atlanta, affected operations at multiple health agencies and has prompted a call for action from the affected employees. The attack has left the workforce seeking specific leadership from Secretary Kennedy to ensure the safety and continuity of their agencies' operations post-attack.
The employees are requesting a comprehensive plan from Secretary Kennedy to address the aftermath of the attack and to provide the necessary support during this challenging time. The collective call for support and leadership from Secretary Kennedy is ongoing, as the affected employees continue to navigate the complexities of the attack's aftermath.
It is important to note that, as of now, there is no evidence that Secretary Kennedy has taken any actions to support or lead the employees of the CDC, NIH, or other affected health agencies following the Aug. 8 attack. Kennedy is primarily known for his controversial positions on COVID-19 vaccines and has defended those in Senate hearings. However, no involvement in employee support or leadership after the attack has been reported.
The attack resulted in one police officer's death near the CDC, but Kennedy's role or response to this incident is not documented in available sources. The aftermath of the attack is currently being addressed by the affected employees, who are working diligently to restore normal operations and ensure the safety of their colleagues and the public.
As the situation continues to unfold, the employees' call for support and leadership from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., remains a pressing issue. It is hoped that Secretary Kennedy will step forward to provide the necessary guidance and support to help the affected agencies recover and continue their vital work in maintaining public health.
