DOJ Takes Trump’s Revenge With Criminal Probe Into Ousted Fed Governor
After a reportedly
anti-vax shooter attacked the CDC on August 8, a number of federal health
employees sent a letter to Kennedy, urging him to stop spreading false
information about Covid-19. But
now, as Kennedy “continues to endanger the nation’s health,” these horrified
federal workers, scientists, and physicians are leveling up their demands.
Last week, Kennedy fired
CDC Director Susan Monarez, which spurred the resignations of multiple other
high-ranking officials. Demetre Daskalakis, the director of the National Center
for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, was one of those who stepped down.
He shared his resignation letter on X, writing: “I am unable to serve in an environment
that treats the CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not
reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the
public’s health.”
Current and former
employees cited these examples, along with Kennedy’s appointment of
“political ideologues who pose as scientific experts,” his refusal
to be briefed by CDC experts, and his
rescinding of the FDA’s emergency use authorization for the Covid vaccine, as
reasons they were demanding Kennedy’s resignation.
