Dr. Erica Schwartz was confirmed by the Senate this week, stepping into a role left vacant for nearly a year after her predecessor was fired for defying RFK Jr. At her hearing, she promised to never betray the science, but she also said she's all in on Kennedy's health agenda. Critics on both sides aren't convinced she'll push back when it matters.

She's inheriting a CDC facing staff walkouts and the worst measles outbreak in decades.

Will she protect the science or fall in line? Head to blavity.com for the full story.
