Vox: The new CDC director was once accused of research misconduct

He also served in the military and founded the Department of Retroviral Research within the military’s HIV Research Program. … While some have said this training may help Redfield respond to infectious disease outbreaks, others in the science community question the integrity of 66-year-old’s track record — and worry about the discriminatory and religious overtones of some of the health policies he’s championed during his long career…” (Belluz, 3/22).
