Kennedy, Jr., and officials after they dodged a reporter's question during a press conference on Monday, refusing to discuss screwworms.Kennedy and other officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education announced that 19 medical schools in the United States had signed the Trump administration’s Nutrition Education Pledge. During the press conference in Washington, D.C., a reporter asked about the flesh-eating parasite outbreak."Thank you, Secretary Kennedy and Under Secretary Kent.
