  • Calls for Resignation Mount as Kennedy’s War on Science Intensifies … RFK Jr. Must Go!

    Blue Press Journal (DC) – The US Health and Human Services Department is reeling from a month of unprecedented turmoil, with critics calling for the resignation of Secretary John F. Kennedy Jr. The embattled secretary has faced mounting scrutiny over his handling of vaccine policy, and his history of promoting unproven medical treatments.

    The final straw came this week with the abrupt dismissal of CDC Chief Susan Monarez, sparking outrage from public health experts and lawmakers alike. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lambasted Kennedy’s attacks on established science as “stubborn, pigheaded, conspiracy-based,” while Sen. Bernie Sanders wrote a scathing editorial accusing Kennedy of “launching a full-blown war on science, on public health, and on truth itself.”

    The controversy surrounding Kennedy’s leadership has been building for months, with critics pointing to his history of sowing mistrust in vaccines. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Kennedy has vowed to investigate a possible connection between vaccines and autism, rewarding vaccine critics with high-level appointments and downplaying the role of immunizations in a recent measles outbreak.

    The situation took a dark turn when a vaccine conspiracy theorist opened fire on the CDC building in Atlanta, Georgia, prompting widespread condemnation. Kennedy’s slow response to the shooting only added to the criticism, with many questioning his commitment to public health and safety.

    As Kennedy prepares to assume personal authority over Medicaid, lawmakers and experts are sounding the alarm over the potential consequences of his policies. “The reality is that Secretary Kennedy has profited from and built a career on sowing mistrust in vaccines,” Sen. Sanders wrote. “Now, as head of HHS, he is using his authority to undermine the very foundations of public health.”

    With calls for resignation growing louder, it remains to be seen how long Kennedy can cling to power. The fate of the US Health and Human Services Department, and the health of the American people, hangs in the balance as the country waits with bated breath. One question echoes through the halls of power: how much longer can Kennedy’s war on science continue?

  • Trump Administration Sparks Outrage with Sudden Firing of CDC Director … MAKING AMERICA SICKER AGAIN

    BLUE PRESS JOURNAL (DC) – In a shocking move, the Trump Administration has fired Dr. Susan Monarez, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), just one month after her Senate confirmation. The reason behind her termination has left many in the medical community stunned and concerned about the safety of the American people.

    According to White House officials, Dr. Monarez was let go because she did not share President Trump’s “mission.” However, this vague explanation has only raised more questions. What mission could be more important than protecting the health and well-being of the American people? As one critic aptly put it, “Make America SICK” seems to be the real motto of the Trump Administration.

    Just a few months ago, President Trump praised Dr. Monarez’s “decades of experience championing Innovation, Transparency, and strong Public Health Systems.” He highlighted her impressive credentials, including a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and postdoctoral training in Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine. So, what changed? Has the President’s judgment been clouded by his own personal biases or, as some speculate, by the early stages of dementia?

    The real reason behind Dr. Monarez’s firing appears to be her refusal to rubber-stamp vaccine policy written by a non-physician who doesn’t believe in vaccines – namely, RFK Jr., a notorious anti-vaxxer. This is a alarming development, especially as the country is bracing for the upcoming Covid-19 and flu season.

    The firing of Dr. Monarez has sparked widespread outrage among medical professionals and scientists, who fear that the Trump Administration is putting politics above public health. With RFK Jr. at the helm of the nation’s leading health agency, many are wondering if we can really feel safe. The answer, unfortunately, is a resounding no.

    As Professor of Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, aptly put it, “Apparently, what Dr. Monarez did wrong was to refuse to rubber-stamp vaccine policy written by a non-physician who doesn’t believe in vaccines.” This is a chilling indictment of the Trump Administration’s priorities and a stark reminder that, under their watch, science and reason are being sacrificed at the altar of politics. As the nation prepares to face the challenges of the upcoming flu season, one thing is certain – our health and safety are no longer in good hands.

  • 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.
