HHS国务卿小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪周四不愿就疾病预防控制中心主任苏珊·莫纳雷斯的工作发表评论，但表示唐纳德·特朗普总统对疾病预防控制中心抱有“雄心勃勃的希望”，表明总统与他保持一致。

　　“我要说的是，特朗普总统现在对疾控中心抱有非常非常远大的希望。疾病预防控制中心有问题，”肯尼迪在“福克斯和朋友”采访中说，然后他对疫情提出未经证实的说法。

　　肯尼迪没有受过正式的医学训练，也没有经验，他还说，疾病预防控制中心的优先事项需要重新审查。

　　“如果该机构真的存在非常非常根深蒂固的问题，我会说，我们需要强有力的领导，这样才能实现特朗普总统的广泛抱负，”他说。

　　RFK Jr says Trump has 'ambitious hopes' for CDC

　　HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would not comment Thursday on the situation over CDC Director Susan Monarez's job but said that President Donald Trump has "ambitious hopes" for the CDC, signaling the president's alignment with him.

　　"I will say is President Trump has very, very ambitious hopes for what for the CDC right now. CDC has problems," Kennedy said in a "Fox and Friends" interview, before he made unproven claims about the pandemic.

　　Kennedy, who has no formal medical training or experience, also said that the priorities of the CDC need to be reexamined.

　　"If there's really a deeply, deeply embedded, I would say, malaise at the agency, and we need strong leadership that will go in there, and that will be able to execute on President Trump's broad ambitions," he said.
