CDC Director Susan Monarez Removed From Post, White House Says
Monarez’s lawyers say she ‘chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda’
—> https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy...c?st=cJYPmJ&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink“… Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.), a medical doctor who was a pivotal voice in Kennedy’s confirmation fight in February, said late Wednesday that the CDC’s “high-profile departures will require oversight” by the Senate health committee that he runs but offered no further comment.
In backing Kennedy’s confirmation, Cassidy said at the time that he secured a number of concessions, including promises to maintain current federal vaccine recommendations and keep intact CDC website pages that say there isn’t a link between vaccines and autism.
About a week after Monarez was sworn in, a gunman who authorities said had been critical of the Covid-19 vaccine opened fire outside the CDC’s Atlanta campus, killing a police officer and striking six of the agency’s buildings. The shooting marked a devastating blow to morale following a swath of layoffs across the agency earlier this year, according to current and former employees….”

“… Kennedy declined to comment on Monarez's attorneys' allegations that he and his department have set their sights on "weaponizing public health for political gain" and have put "millions of American lives at risk," insisting it would be "inappropriate" to comment on personnel issues.
"What I will say is, President Trump has very ambitious hopes for CDC right now," he said.
"CDC has problems. We saw the misinformation coming out of COVID, they got the testing wrong, they got the social distancing, the masks [and] the school closures that did so much harm to the American people [wrong]…
"We need to look at the priorities of the agency if there's really a deeply embedded – I would say – malaise at the agency, and we need strong leadership that will go in there and that will be able to execute on President Trump's broad ambitions to restore this agency to gold standard science and to what it was when we were growing up, which was the most respected health agency in the world."…”

“… As of July 1, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) program has reduced surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News.
Before July, the program had been tracking infections caused by six additional pathogens: campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. Some of them can lead to severe or life-threatening illnesses, particularly for newborns and people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems.
Monitoring for the six pathogens is no longer required for the 10 states that participate in the program, though those states aren’t precluded from conducting surveillance on their own.
… FoodNet is a collaboration among the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, the Agriculture Department and 10 state health departments. Its surveillance area covers roughly 54 million people, or 16% of the U.S. population. The network includes Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee and select counties in California and New York
… A list of talking points the CDC provided to the Connecticut Public Health Department, viewed by NBC News, cites a reason for the change: “Funding has not kept pace with the resources required to maintain the continuation of FoodNet surveillance for all eight pathogens.”
… The CDC spokesperson said Monday that other systems conduct national surveillance for the six pathogens that were removed from FoodNet.
For instance, state health departments are still able to report cases through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. And the CDC’s Listeria Initiative collects reports of laboratory-confirmed cases of listeriosis — serious infections from eating food contaminated with listeria.
But FoodNet is the only surveillance system that actively looks for multiple foodborne diseases at the federal level, according to food safety experts. Other federal surveillance systems are passive, meaning the CDC relies on state health departments to notify it of cases.…”

The morale is exceptionally low at work due to RFK shit
I ask this in all seriousness: Why exactly are we taking health advice from a societal reject who looks, walks and talks like a failed mad-science experiment? I mean—MAGA cult reckoning aside—on what cotdamn planet could anyone think a shaky, stuttering, brainworm-infested weirdo like RFK Jr was the best guy for this job?

the ironic thing is once the GOP codifies their permanent power steal, I suspect there are going to be a bunch of forced immunizations and other things to keep the expanding underclass from spreading disease to those with power. Well i mean for poor white people. Brown people and others will be nied vaccines like in Third Reich Germany.
This would read like a page out of the Project 2025 playbook.

I suspect Project 2025 borrowed more than a few things from a certain German party.

Why? Concerns over greater odds of being exposed, just being fed up with MAGA gremlins tinkering with healthcare,
or something else?
Exposure and mental fatigue. I have had COVID four times now, three were due to workplace exposures. Gave it to my wife three times. Now I have to find a doctor to give me written permission to get a vaccine. 2020 and 2021 were physically and mentally exhausting. Not going back to that life for a little bit of extra money.
