Greetings, Dear Reader,
Welcome back to State of the Day, where I strip the euphemisms and misdirection from national politics and give it to you straight, no ice, no mixer.
Please remember to forward this far and wide.
Here we are again — RFK Jr. is sniping “experts” and I’m lol’ing the whole time.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
In his nauseatingly self-righteous resignation letter, the CDC’s Dr. Demetre Daskalakis manages to use the words “expert” three times and “science” or “scientific” seven times.
One such use of “scientific” is accompanied by the word “reality.” (Emphases mine)
“I am unable to serve in an environment that treats 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,” he writes.
Then in the very next sentence:
“The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.”
Pregnant people?
He signs off:
“Sincerely,
Demetre C. Daskalakis MD MPH (he/his/him)”
Sorry, bub, but I’m afraid you are among the … people … who are disengaged with “scientific reality.”
Good riddance!
At some point today, should you turn on the television, you will hear a load of propaganda about RFK Jr. deleting the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) from the CDC. You’ll also likely hear a bunch of buzzwords like “anti-vaxxer” and maybe even the phrase “conspiracy theory” a bit.
Let me cut to the chase: ACIP heads refused to fall in line on recommendations for children and pregnant WOMEN getting the Wuhan virus vaccine. Put flatly, there’s no evidence it should even be a consideration for those cohorts unless they have significant, and rare, comorbid health issues.
These officials wanted to keep recommending it for kids as young as 6 months old. RFK didn’t recommend it because there’s no evidence they need it, particularly not males (Hey, Demetre, those are the humans with Y chromosomes who are immutably different from the ones with XX chromosomes).
CDC Director Susan Monarez was caught up in the firings. Well, at least the Trump White House thinks she was. For her part, Monarez tried at first to pull a Lisa Cook. Her lawyers released a “fiery statement,” according to The Washington Post, denying she had been fired.
Then the White House responded, saying, akshually, you’re “terminated.”
It’s RFK’s contention that the entire stable of health officials was merely a rubber stamp for bad vaccine recommendations, particularly COVID. In case you were wondering, back in ‘23, the CDC was set to buy $1.8 billion in “pediatric” COVID vaccines.
Meanwhile, healthy children under 17 never needed the COVID shot, according to the CDC’s own tracking data.
I wonder why they’re so upset. Is it that the gravy train is coming to an end?
So let’s just sit back and watch where these “experts” get their next jobs, eh?
To repeat myself: Good riddance!
