Jones' resignation comes after the Trump administration last week cut thousands of federal workers, including some who worked at the FDA. The source didn’t provide a reason for Jones' resignation.

Thoughts on each of the three parts:

Someone named Jim Jones in charge of food safety makes me nervous.
Another career bureaucrat.
BS--the ONLY person on Earth? Really?

He left due to a difference of opinion with the incoming Sec of HHS. Unlike Kennedy, Jones was o.k. with sugary drinks such as kool-aid.

He may have chosen to take himself off the federal payroll in order to avoid being forced to personally testify about certain “things” that might could be found by DOGE in the near future.

Maybe they should seek aid from a higher authority than found on earth.

He may want to remain silent, which federal government employees who wish to keep their jobs are typically not permitted to do. ITGRC.
