Former CDC official ‘only sees harm’ to public health under RFK Jr’s leadership | Trump administration
Former immune director of Disease Control and Prevention Centers, Donald Trump’s Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
One report On Sunday, Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned this week to protest the firing of Susan Monarez, the White House’s CDC Director, said: orum As a doctor who takes the hypocratic oath, I just suffer from my perspective. ”
He added: “I may be wrong, but based on what I have seen, the new members of the advisory committee for vaccination practices, or they are moving in an ideological direction they want to see the recovery of vaccination.”
Daskalakis’s interview comes in the midst of the Rare two -party return to expel Monarez in the midst of increasing political intervention concerns as well as the increasing budget cuts in the US health institutions and the White House in the work of the CDC.
In addition, Kennedy has to resign, especially suspicious medical and health claims, and there are calls for public opinion for both experts and deputies to relieve.
Explaining his resignation, Daskalakis said: ik We could not think that we could present science in a free way of ideology, and that the fire wall between science and ideology was completely broken. And we would not have a scientific leader in the CDC and that we would not be necessary with HHS that could really be carried out on good public health. ”
Daskalakis also criticized Kennedy’s latest changes in the childhood Covid-19 vaccination program and said that the vaccine is now only 65 years of age and over and approved for children and adults with underlying health conditions.
Daskalakis said, “This is not what the data shows. This is not what the data shows. Between six months and two years of age, the underlying situations youth. 53% of the children who were hospitalized last season did not have the bottom conditions. Data, I understand that your child cannot be overcome in this age range.
In addition, Kennedy’s best assistant and new CDC chef, Jim O’Neill, who is not medical or infectious science education, aroused doubt.
In response to whether he trusts O’Neill promise Daskalakis said that he was in favor of vaccines: orum To be honest, I really want to trust… But CDC said that scientists manipulated the data to follow an ideology or agenda in his childhood program, and think that the leader thinks of which leader he used and did not believe in vaccination.
Bernie Sanders, Vermont Senator at OP-ED for the New York Times, accused Kennedy of “endangering the health of the American people now and the future:“ He must resign ”.
Kennedy, who has long been an anti -vaccine advocate for a long time since he has been leadership on the health department, expelled the health agency employees and entertained his conspiracy theories. Last week, more than 750 existing and former employees in US health institutions signed a letter that Kennedy criticized Kennedy as a “existential threat to public health”.
Health Agency workers continued to accuse the health secretary of being guilty to “dismantle America’s public health infrastructure and endanger the health of the country by repeating the wrong health information.
The letter comes after a deadly shoot at the CDC center in Atlanta, where a 30 -year -old armed man took more than 180 rounds to buildings and killed a police officer before he died of his own fiery weapon wound. The shooter was struggling with mental health problems, and according to his father’s father, he was impressed by the wrong information that caused him to believe that the Covid-19 vaccine made him sick.
