President Trump’s nominees for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Director of the FBI will be facing confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate this week.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to face sharp questioning over his nomination to head the Dept. of Health & Human Services because of his skepticism toward the effectiveness of the federal food and medicine regulatory apparatus.
In particular, large numbers of employees of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have been preparing their letters of resignation for the past two months and say they will quit if RFK Jr. is confirmed as HHS Secretary.
Jessica Malaty Rivera is an advisor with the Debeaumont Foundation, she says she’s aware of “multiple employees” with agencies like the CDC who she says, “They refuse to work for this administration,” she says. “I understand it, but it’s terrifying. Because we don’t want to be in the position where everyone working at these agencies is anti-medicine, anti-science.”
As Secretary of HHS, Kennedy would have broad authority to oversee the operations of the CDC, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration.
Kennedy has faced criticism over his concerns regarding vaccine safety and for his book “The Real Anthony Fauci” which tracks the career path of the man who became the public face of the federal Covid response.
However, Kennedy has also attracted support from former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield who has recently partnered with him on evaluating the efficacy and safety of vaccines.
The threat of potentially hundreds of CDC employees quitting their jobs underscores the seriousness with which the Trump administration is going about correcting the mistakes of the previous administration.
The terms are acceptable.
AMF!
These are probably the employees you don’t want anyway. Just make sure you don’t hire them back when they can’t find a real job.
Even more reason to confirm him.
They likely never had a real job.
Great.
Will they flee to Canada so they can practice their Mengele medicine?
Huzzah!!!
And this is a problem?
Winning!
When confirmed he’ll likely fire your lame asses anyway
That’s one way to get rid of far left leakers.
You can’t fire me, I quit!
Buh bye! No severance, no unemployment. 😭🖕
To quote JD...
“I don’t really care, Margaret.
Thank you for self cleansing a screwed up, politicized agancy.
It’s hard to make America Great Again when so many Federal Employees hate America and Americans and don’t want America to be great.
Sounds like winning to me!
Good.
