  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired two top deputies at the Department of Health and Human Services, ABC News has learned.

Heather Flick Melanson, Kennedy's chief of staff, and Hannah Anderson, deputy chief of staff of policy, are departing, according to a department spokesperson and another person familiar with the decisions.

No reason was given for the ousters. The person familiar with the situation told ABC that Kennedy "has every right to make personnel decisions."


He made the decision to hire them. And made the decision to approve an ethics waiver for Melanson. According to that document, Trump installed Melanson to keep an eye on RFK Jr.

Measles, rubella and polio: The return of preventable diseases​

  • Vaccine rates are falling fast across the US
  • Measles cases have hit a 30-year high in 2025
  • Polio and rubella could return after decades
Why? Because the same group that convinced people there are pedophile rings ran out of Pizza joints, the 2020 election was stolen, also convinced them that vaccines don't work to the point a vaccine denier is head of the HHS.

Hannah Anderson was removed as deputy chief of staff for policy in June after only a few months on the job. She was so distraught by her dismissal that she accidentally backed into Kennedy's vehicle, reported The Daily Beast.

The minor crash was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in a lengthy account of the infighting within the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement, including the forced resignation of Dr. Vinay Prasad as the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official and head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
