'It's no longer possible to have any confidence in what's coming out of HHS or CDC'"

CDC Director Susan Monarez was ousted from her position after clashing with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy over vaccine policy and her refusal to fire several veteran CDC leaders, according to people familiar with the situation. Her removal was followed by the resignations of several senior leaders.

is another example of the no love, nanny raised, spoiled brats surrounding him in this puke administration. None of these protected freaks have any street smarts. IMO.

stuck widowed with 11 children to raise in the toxic-masculinity warren that was the Kennedys, maybe it's no surprise that he turned out so damaged.

But as determined as he seems to be to obliterate his family's legacy of public service, no one who cast a vote to confirm him as HHS secretary can ever be forgiven for unleashing his campaign of manslaughter-by-mismanagement upon the American populace.

They all know by now that, if they want to keep their jobs, their number one priority is to kiss the faux-king dictator's ass and protect his ridiculously bloated but extremely fragile ego.
