The following is the transcript of the interview with the chairman of the Board and the Board of the Board and the Board of the Board and the Board of the Board and the Board of the Board and the Board of the Board of June 29, 2025.
Margaret Brennan: In some of the american changes in the American public health policy under Trump, the former FDA Commissioner sitting on the board in Pfizer Dr. We joined by Scott Gottlieb and are now the chairman of the Board in Illumina. Good morning. Good to see you.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb: Good morning.
Margaret Brennan: You know, Dr. Gottlieb, you worked in the first Trump leadership. This second Trump leadership seems very different in the approach of public health on many fronts. One of them was put this week this week this week this week this week this week. Secretary Kenedi rejected 17 members of the existing board and placed some of the members of the choice. And in one video, the President of the American Pediatric Academy said that the policy of Federal Immunization, “no longer a reliable process” and will be politicized by children. This is a very striking statement. Do you agree with the Pediatric Academy?
Dr. Gottlieb: See, you are right. I worked in the first Trump management. I was lucky to do this and I was proud to serve the management. I think we have done very important things about public health. We headed the first cell and gene therapy approval. The President tried to expand these treatments with the right to test the champion legislation. He tried to keep the FDA out of the hands of children, to celebrate the number of general approvals and many other successes. I think that in addition to political corridors, many people, secretary Kennedy are the champions and the extensive social health doctrine is very much of these policies. I think this is not correct. I think that this work should be not particularly political or not political or not, and these decisions should not be able to decide whether they will decide on political, their lives or their families. This is currently similar to the political process. The secretary, this is so long and its anti-VAG group, after issues with children’s health protection. I don’t think it’s wrong at this point. I think it probably acknowledges. In the last 20 years, he said he was accepting the champion to restrict access to the most vaccines. This intends to grow up. The list is growing up and will start to be very material for humans and just beyond the vaccine of Jovid, which is thinking that this management or secretary’s efforts and secretary try to limit access to vaccinations.
Margaret Brennan: So one of the special things from this meeting was advice to prevent the flu vaccine, which is an ingredient named Timerosal. At the same time as the congregation, CDC has issued information from the CDC website that claims that this article is related to autism. The secretary says Kennedy says journalists who blacken this truth. People should be vaccinated and what should they know about this composition?
Dr. Gottlieb: Yes, so this is an old substance. This is a protector used in the flu vaccine, primarily in many dosage vaccines. Only a very small percentage of flu vaccine vials still contain it. This is a substance attached to multi-dose vials, because the vaccine is a substance outside of different needles and outside when you take different patients. Thus, they are not single dosage injections. First of all, in some busy clinics, there are almost many dose vials used in adults. In the early 2000s, I was in the FDA when we reformed the vaccine, so we forced the producers to reform the manufacturers to remove this conservation. There were a large number of articles that they think they think that there is a connection between the anti-and-wax groups, but between the anti-vax groups that are not careless. The composition contains a small amount of mercury, ethilmerycury, which is found in very small amounts of fish. Thus, the manufacturers have forced the vast majority of vaccines, mainly, most of the flu vaccinations leading to adults, mostly, this is a very dose of bottle. This has been a long time since the secretary and group, the children’s health defense fund was Bugaboo. In fact, the only presentation at the ACIP meeting was from the head of that group. You are right that the CDC officials have a transaction that claims that there is no connection between Timerosal and Autism. This analysis was taken from the website. The secretary made a statement that said it was not – did not pass the correct opinion.
Margaret Brennan: We will talk about you more on the break, Dr. Gottlieb and the other side of it. These are complicated issues that I want to dig in with you. So we hope you all will be with us.

Margaret Brennan: Return to the nationality of the nation. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. We are back to our conversation with Scott Gottlieb. Dr. Gottlieb, just to withdraw, this was talking about the meeting with a new reconstructed consultation committee on immunization last week. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, you know it, is a doctor. The Health Committee is supervised and chaired. He called on the cancellation of the meeting, because he does not have a CDC Director. When it comes to this appointed, many do not have an important experience learning microbiology, epidemiology or immunology ‘and they can be a biased bias against MRA vaccinations. This is not a doctor, but if you advise the immunizations, the experience in immunology would be important. His neutral was ignored here. Does this point have any verification in Knenedi in Know? Do you need to quickly get a CDC director?
Dr. Gottlieb: Yes, well, the CDC director held a confirmation hearing this week and hopefully will be in place soon. I think he is so strong and a good choice for this job. The plaque, this Aicboard board is not set. There are only seven members in the board. He has about 15 in peak membership. And there are no deep experience or any practices designated, openly in vaccination science. In the past, the secretary of Kennedy is not all, many people, many people, many, not all. I think it’s not even something that the secretary will argue at the moment, and this meeting has caused some awkward moments. For example, you know that one member had to explain the difference between an antibody prevention and vaccine. Thus, the CDC had an evidence that the directors must provide a little clearly, these members had a corrdent help to ensure a brief way on the basis of vaccine science. Thus, I hope you will get more balance after this board completely arranged this board. I think some people are skeptical. I hope there will be some good members sitting in the result.
Margaret Brennan: You know, one of all about the American health system is a matter of constant innovation. At the beginning of this month, the FDA confirmed the two-year injection of a HIV prevention called Lenacapavir. How important is such an innovation, and considering the environment you talk, will these new consultants be able to market such things?
Dr. Gottlieb: Yes, this should not come before your use. So this is a therapeutic. It is an antiviral that provides six months of protection against HIV and prevent HIV infection in a population of HIV risk risk. Thus, it is a change in the formation of an antiviral, which allows you to apply twice a year and ensures continuous exposure to the benefits of this antiviral. We see many innovations like this. There was no news from a small biotechnic company this week that they had prepared a pill that could provide protective protection from the influenza. Thus, it is an antiviral, but in this way, it is formed in a way that once has been applied once during the flu season, and it is very effective for ensuring the protection of the whole season, as well as to be very effective. So we see many innovations like this. What I worried is innovation in the vaccine science. I work on the capital of the enterprise we invest in new companies and vaccinates for the Epstein-barrel virus, which are related to new vaccines, such as the Epstein-barrel virus, such as certain B barrels. This is similar to the potential to vaccinate children, which is in the meantime we can be vaccinated against HPV and preventing cervical cancer and other species. Maybe we can vaccinate for EBV, but there was a lot of retreat for such investment. Therefore, I think that as a result of the environment in which we will see less innovation in the science of vaccination.
Margaret Brennan: Quickly, Secretary Kennedy was asked about the announcements that some states began to produce water from water this week. Oklahoma made some action in this direction. He said, ‘Probably a little more gaps’, but there is a direct reverse connection between the amount of fluorid and the amount of IQ loss. ‘What should parents think when you hear the things like this?
Dr. Gottlieb: See, it’s a matter of time, the other issue of the champion on Kennedy’s career Secretary Kennedy has accepted this perception, fluor and some neurotoxic effects with water and water. It was thoroughly studied. I think it’s full debunked. There is a very small amount of fluoride in the water and was shown to be safe at the levels of water supply. CDCs, the fluoride, which is regularly added to the water supply, has information that has a 25% reduction in toothpacks. This is not only the issue of growing toothpicks, but at the same time, oral health is even more common in systemic health.
Margaret Brennan: Dr. Gottlieb is good to get your thoughts today. We will be back.
