The decision was made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who notified the task force's two doctors that their appointments were terminated immediately before the end of their multiyear terms. The panel, established in the 1980s to review scientific evidence on disease prevention, has been accused of being ‘lackadaisical’ and lacked transparency, according to Kennedy.
