Dr. Peter McCullough on RFK Jr Leading HHS is ‘Solid Leadership’ Back in Washington That Americans Deserve

Dr. Peter McCullough systematically analyzes the leadership dynamics within Health and Human Services and their impact on federal health policy implementation.

“We’ve seen under the last two HHS secretaries, Alex Azar, who’s a former drug company CEO, who was installed under Obama, carried through under Trump, and now Xavier Becerra, who’s a career politician. Both are lawyers by training. We’ve seen under their tenure, corruption sweep into the agencies.”

He critically assesses the qualifications of past HHS secretaries, highlighting the shift from leaders with pharmaceutical backgrounds to career political appointees. This transition has significantly influenced agency operations across various departments. McCullough argues for the necessity of evidence-based, expert-driven policy development within federal health agencies.

“Now enter Robert F Kennedy, who says, Listen, he is going to be evidence based. He’s going to be, you know, egalitarian, going to bring experts into Washington to carefully review information, you know, develop a framework around issues consensus and then drive policy. This scares stakeholders like big pharmaceutical companies and interest groups tremendously in terms of bringing back what Americans deserve in Washington, and that is good, solid leadership from HHS.”

He proposes a methodological framework for agency reform, focusing on scientific expertise and systematic review processes. The discussion underscores a fundamental tension between stakeholder interests and the implementation of evidence-based public health policy.
