Blunt Rochester presses RFK Jr. on CDC acting director

Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester has written a stinging letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demanding that he clarify whether the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has an acting director.

In her three-page missive, Blunt Rochester suggested that Matthew Buzzelli, the person Kennedy said was the CDC’s acting director, cannot hold the role because he isn’t qualified under the federal Vacancies Act.
