Doctors and public health specialists say they view the administration's actions, such as firings or questioning established research, as an "attack" on science.

The Trump administration has fired or reassigned multiple Health and Human Services (HHS) officials who have raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines, according to a report by ABC News. The firings and reassignments come amid accusations that the administration is attempting to silence dissent and push through an unproven vaccine for political gain. Among those affected are Dr. Rick Bright, a former director at the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, who was removed from his position after questioning the safety of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, and Dr. Paul Alexander, a former HHS official who was fired after criticizing the administration's handling of the pandemic and questioning the safety of the vaccines. The firings have raised concerns among public health experts and lawmakers, who fear that the administration's actions could undermine public trust in the vaccines and jeopardize the nation's response to the pandemic.
