It didn't take long for former CDC director Susan Monarez to be fired/resign from her job.

 

Monarez didn't go along with RFK Jr.s narrative on vaccines. She choose to stick with science. 

 

The funny part is the current administration vetted and nominated Susan Monarez to the position. They had to know where she stood on the issues.

 

Shortly after Monarez was bounced, several CDC employees have also quit. Many of these people have strong backgrounds in medicine so finding a new job is super easy for them. 

 

Once political puppets are installed at CDC, it will be interesting to see how America changes its approach to viruses and vaccines and access to medicine.

Maybe -  individual acts of courage and defiance will gain momentum and snowball, and before we know it - crowds rise up, coming together, surging forth, bringing about change and reform, successfully achieving where political parties have failed and - nah... Not happening. The flutterimg American flag goes limp and the strains of Glory Hallelujah fade away. 

                    THE END

I agree @aka Contrarian I can see them installing an incompetent anti-vaxxer.  As @ProfD wrote "Monarez didn't go along with RFK Jr.s narrative on vaccines. She choose to stick with science." The replacement will clearly reject science.

 

Sadly, there are many people who feel they know more than the scientific community which it comes to infectious diseases and how to treat them.  When it comes to preforming brain surgery or sending a rocket to the moon.  None of these antivaxxer think they know more that these doctors and PhD's.  But on the subject of treating infectious diseases every couch potato is an expert.
