Former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra blasted the Trump administration’s handling of public health since taking office, warning that its actions are a precursor of "how public health collapses." Writing on the social media platform X, Becerra, who's running for California governor, said, "I've held back. Gave this administration a chance to settle in. But after this MAHA report fiasco, the vaccine rollbacks, and the silencing of public health experts—I'm done holding back. We have an obligation to speak up. And I will."
