A senior adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services who backed Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.’s decision to cancel funds for mRNA vaccine research has been ousted from the department.
Steven Hatfill, a controversial virologist who served as an adviser to President Donald Trump on the coronavirus pandemic during his first term, was fired over the weekend.
He told The New York Times in a brief interview on his departure that he was let go as part of a ”coup to overthrow Mr. Kennedy," which he blamed on Kennedy’s chief of staff, Matt Buckham.
