Let us axe you one question, Demetre Daskalakis:

Did you promote the COVID vaccine?

I watched a little bit of this- unfortunately....

One of the “expert medical” guests was talking about vaccines and said, “people should make their own decisions with their doctors and not have politics get involved.”

Really????

Of course Raddatz never asked the obvious follow up question- what about politicians who mandated the covid vax and fired first responders or other employees who made the best decisions for themselves and bypassed the jab?

Then again that wouldn’t feed their narrative...

Demetre Daskalakis, the former director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, who resigned on Wednesday, warned of the forthcoming “ideologic direction” of public health in an interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC’s This Week.

Too late, Demetre, you Biden bot.

Joe the Puppet's people already politicized public health.

Hmmmm. A focus on health. Must seem ideological to those who want to preserve illness.

“About 234,000 children under age 18 were hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 from fall 2020 to spring 2024, according to AAP analysis of data collected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).”

Note the winter of 2022 peak.

Congress needs to pass a bill that anyone hired by Let’s Go Brandon, FJB, after he was thrown under the bus should be immediately terminated. Not fired. TERMINATED.

Yep. He can blow it out his rear end, which is probably what he is competent at.

He surely isn’t competent for a position at the CDC, or at least a CDC that will work under a scientific framework and not a political one.

January 19,2021

Children make up 12.6% of all cases in the U.S. At least 10,182 children have been hospitalized since the start of the pandemic and 191 have died, according to the AAP/CHA report. Data were not available from all states.

About 1.8% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations and 0.06% of the deaths have been among children. About 0.8% of children with a known case of COVID-19 have been hospitalized and 0.01% have died.

https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/12610/Pediatric-COVID-19-cases-surpass-record-for-a?searchresult=1

The risk of a child not getting vaccinated against Covid is likely going to be quite similar to the risk in pre-Covid vaccination days - about 1 in 10,000 might need hospitalization and about 1 in 500,000 might die from Covid.

At $100/vaccination, it is likely to cost ~$1 million to prevent a childhood Covid hospitalization and ~$50 million to prevent a Covid death.

The CDC could declare a bio war on humanity, yet wouldn’t harm us more than it already has.

It began as a small, quasi-private org in the south to deal with malaria, but morphed into a counter-productive bureaucratic fed.gov monster.

If not disbanded it needs to be cut to pieces.
