CDC Officials Resign Amidst Concerns Over RFK Jr.’s Leadership

Blue Press Journal (NYC) – In a shocking turn of events, several top officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have resigned, citing philosophical differences with Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The mass exodus is a clear indication that Kennedy’s leadership is detrimental to the agency’s mission to protect the health of the American people.

Demetre Daskalakis, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, was one of the officials who stepped down, stating that he could no longer continue in his role due to Kennedy’s questionable decisions. Daskalakis specifically pointed to the recent changes in the immunization schedule for children and pregnant women, which were made without sharing the supporting data with the CDC.

This lack of transparency and disregard for scientific expertise is alarming, and Daskalakis’s resignation is a testament to the fact that Kennedy is not fit to lead the CDC. As we have consistently stated at the Blue Press Journal, Kennedy’s proven record of ignorance on critical health issues makes him unsuitable for this role.

The resignations of Daskalakis and other top officials, including Monarez, who was ousted as CDC director, demonstrate the depth of concern within the agency about Kennedy’s leadership. The fact that no CDC subject matter expert has briefed Kennedy in the seven months since he took office is a stark indication of his disinterest in scientific expertise.

This latest attack on science will have far-reaching consequences for the American public. The CDC’s mission to protect the nation’s health is being compromised by Kennedy’s ineptitude, and it is imperative that he is held accountable for his actions. As the nation’s premier public health agency, the CDC deserves a leader who respects science and prioritizes the health and well-being of the American people.
