JUST IN: RFK Jr. to Gut Vaccine Promotion and HIV Prevention Offices
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly plans to DOGE the government’s Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP) by laying off the entire office’s staff as part of a plan to cut 20,000 HHS employees.
Former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Anthony Fauci, left a legacy of botched COVID and AIDS responses, including a COVID-19 vaccine that is believed to have killed many thousands.
The Office of Minority Health, a federal agency dedicated to the health of black people and minorities, is also on the chopping block. The department’s webpage has already been removed from the Internet.
Since taking over as HHS Secretary, RFK has taken action against the vaccine companies in hopes of preventing childhood autism and other adverse side effects. As President Trump noted in his Joint Address to Congress this month, autism rates among children have exploded over recent years, becoming almost 300 times more common than in the past.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Kennedy asked the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this month to investigate a possible link between vaccines and autism.

Additionally, HHS has taken aim at Biden's COVID-19 vaccine, halting a $240 million contract signed by the Biden administration to develop an oral COVID-19 vaccine.
After the COVID pandemic, AIDS crisis, and the rapidly increasing autism rates, common sense dictates that when more government can't fix a problem, perhaps less government is the answer.
Per CBS:
Much of the government's efforts to buoy lagging childhood vaccination rates nationwide have been run through OIDP, including a new campaign called "Let's Get Real" that had launched in the final months of the Biden administration to provide resources and information to health care providers talking to hesitant parents.
"Spreading the truth saves lives, so use our resources to help parents understand how vaccines work, why they're safe, and how they help protect kids," the department had said of the campaign after it was launched.
The Office of Minority Health has also been informed that it should expect to be dissolved, sources said.
OIDP, overseen by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health or OASH, had numbered around 60 employees at the end of the Biden administration. The cuts come as the Trump administration is trying to merge the other offices in OASH into a new HHS agency called the Administration for a Health America, or AHA.
