"I hope that lifting the red flag so folks who are policymakers, folks in government, really understand that there's something extremely wrong. And also I think it's important for the American public to know that they really need to be cautious about the recommendations that they're hearing coming out of the ACIP, given what we're telling you."
"Q: Wait. Just so I'm clear. You're saying that the American people should now be wary of the advice they get from the agency that is tasked with keeping them safe."
"A: Yes."
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, recently resigned Director, CDC National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. (full interview here).
Also this from his resignation letter:
"I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health," he wrote.
"I wish the CDC continued success in its vital mission and that HHS reverse its dangerous course to dismantle public health as a practice and as an institution. If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States."
