Still, given RFK Jr. clearly doesn't know what the hell New World Screwworm is or its implications, I'm glad to see someone is not asleep at the wheel at FDA (and USDA & CDC)--despite all being decimated with re: to a lot of their critical institutional memory and many of its best scientists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, entomologists (USDA & CDC), and others.
