Ex CDC Boss Dr. Robert Redfield Says RFK Is Right: Big Pharma Has Captured FDA & NIH; Pesticides, Processed Foods Causing Chronic Disease – Ask Dr. Drew

"After more than 40 years in the public health arena, it might surprise some of my colleagues to know I think President Trump chose the right man for the job: Robert Kennedy, Jr.," writes Dr. Robert Redfield, former Director of the CDC, in an earth-shattering op-ed for Newsweek that blames processed foods, pesticides, and pharma's financial priorities for America's chronic health epidemic. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/10222024 」••
"It's time to make America healthy again," he continues. "Kennedy is right: All three of the principal health agencies suffer from agency capture... And as the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I know the agency can be influenced by special interest groups."
