RFK Jr losing control of HHS staffing amid political toxicity

March 26, 2026Jonathan Reiner

Jonathan Reiner claims RFK Jr is being constrained on staffing decisions and may be pushed out, citing dismissals of allies and vaccine activism becoming politically toxic in an election year.

The question now is not if RFK, Jr will be pushed out of HHS, it’s when.
He no longer has carte blanche to staff his agencies as he sees fit,
several of his acolytes have been dismissed,
and his vaccine activism is politically toxic in an election year.
