Bobby Brainworm Says CDC Needs to kiss the (T)Rump

(Bloomberg) -- US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention isn’t sufficiently aligned with President Donald Trump’s agenda and it needs an overhaul, a day after the White House fired the director following an intense clash over vaccines.

Kennedy said in a Fox News interview Thursday the agency is likely suffering from a “deeply embedded malaise” and it’s made numerous critical errors, such as its stance toward mask wearing and testing during the Covid pandemic. He also slammed a page on the agency’s website over the top 10 medical innovations in the last century, which includes flouride in water.

The secretary added he’s “not surprised” over the current staff upheaval at the CDC. On Wednesday, the White House said CDC Director Susan Monarez was no longer serving in her role. She was ousted by the Trump administration following a clash with Kennedy over his critical view of vaccines, people familiar with the matter said.

Attorneys representing Monarez said that she was being “targeted” because she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts.” Following the apparent firing, three other top CDC officials resigned, with some openly condemning Kennedy while doing so.

Just who I want to take advice from, an ex-junky with a half-eaten brain.

And the CDC has to follow his command? Can these ass kissers be any more delusional and dangerous?

An undereducated idiot whose Youtube university degree and podcasts commands the respect of subliterate anti-vaxxers and moon-landing deniers across the globe.

No vaccine is safe.
Fluoride is a toxic pollutant.
Spike and outbreak of measles deaths is normal.
Cellphones cause cancer (which I admit, is a big step up from windmills causing cancer)
