## Resource

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just overruled the CDC to force a cruise passenger exposed to hantavirus into a federal quarantine — despite medical experts saying she could safely self-monitor at home. Critics call it authoritarian, unconstitutional, and a dangerous precedent, warning it could chill future disease reporting. The move, made after the CDC itself endorsed home quarantine, highlights a troubling clash between public safety and personal liberty — and raises alarms about science being sidelined for political control.
