Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tell ABC News the agency has descended into turmoil as senior officials offer their resignations over the Trump administration's effort to oust the agency's new director.
A dozen CDC staffers, speaking on the condition of anonymity, described the mood inside the agency to ABC News, including some who said Thursday that the last 24 hours have left them questioning how much longer they should remain in their roles amid fears that the agency is, in the words of one staffer, "changing from a trusted scientific organization to a personal dictatorship" run by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"How are we supposed to function as an agency if everything has to run through a man who doesn't believe in basic scientific principles?" a CDC staffer told ABC News. "[Kennedy] can keep saying buzzwords like 'gold standard science' and 'restoring scientific integrity,' but it means nothing if he fires anyone who disagrees with his personal ideology."

awwwwwwwwwwwww poor loaves, I will be sure to light a candle for them tonight LOL..no longer will we be hearing about “Pregnant people” from these loons
Fire them all.
They say this like its a bad thing. At least they won’t have time to covertly fund gain of function research.
“tur·moil
[ˈtərˌmoil]
noun
a state of great disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty:
“the country was in turmoil” · “he endured years of inner turmoil””
Wow! How, exactly, does one experience turmoil? How would it manifest itself? “Janice. I wanted coffee, but I’m in turmoil! Maybe what I want is a vasectomy.”
They believe their own press releases.
Fire them all.

Purging a deeply engrained ideological mindset is very difficult. The weasels will try to hide and wait it out. This is why your suggestion is the only way.
“Hopeless Bureaucracy” Sounds like exactly what we voted for.
Oh no! One tenth percent of staffers complain!
“changing from a trusted scientific organization to a personal dictatorship” run by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Dictatorship??
Give me your vax mandates!!!
Give me your lock downs!!!
Give me your mask wearers or you cannot shop for food!!!
Trusted? They haven’t been trusted by folks with 3 digit IQs since their role in the Fauci scandal.

Boo hoo.
If it’s so intolerable for them, why don’t the quit? They sound a bit masochistic.
Turmoil? How about cancelled? Defunded? Torn down? Eliminated?
“changing from a trusted scientific organization”
They are clueless. Maybe Trump should adopt a customer feedback address where flyover Americans can send feedback that gets randomly distributed to all CDC employees so they get a real sense of how much they are trusted.
I support these people leaving right now in solidarity with wazhername. Stand up and let your voices be heard. Stand up against The Man. Or for other reasons. Just leave now.
Not trusted.
A bunch of entitled, whining leftist scum is hopeless?
Winning.
Reminds me of that great quote from Dr. Ray Stantz: “”I’ve worked in the private sector... they expect results!””
