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.
“From my vantage point, as a doctor who’s taken the Hippocratic oath, I only see harm coming,” Daskalakis told Raddatz. “I may be wrong, but based on what I’m seeing, based on what I’ve heard with the new members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, or ACIP, they’re really moving in an ideologic direction where they want to see the undoing of vaccination.”
Daskalakis’s resignation comes as a reported clash over vaccine policy and Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” vision led to the firing of former CDC Director Susan Monarez and the subsequent resignation of four high-ranking officials, including Daskalakis. He wrote in his resignation letter that Kennedy and his staff’s views on public health impeded his ability to continue successfully in his role.
“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,” Daskalakis wrote in his resignation letter.
In June, Kennedy removed all former members of the ACIP from their roles on the committee and replaced them with seven new appointees. Thirteen out of 17 of the vaccination safety committee members were appointed by former President Joe Biden.
He told Raddatz that much of the conflict came over Kennedy’s recently approved restrictions on the COVID-19 vaccination. The Food and...

Harm? To who?
For libsocs, sure they’d believe that...
The grifters.
So says the quack ideologue.
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...
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.
Leather gay.
“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.
LOL. This is the guy who’s into bondage and coprophilia. Nothing he says should be taken seriously.
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.
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.
He's a phag.
He’sa full blown leather fetish monkey pox Kansas Court faggot!
