The 5 @LACountyBOS supervisors have to be tired of the embarrassment that Ferrer has created with her scandals.
@HildaSolis was Obama’s Secretary of Labor. She is likely eyeing another big role with Kamala or Newsom as President.

Only the five supervisors can end this nightmare. Over the next week they need to hear nothing but #FireFerrer
@HildaSolis is only 64 and she is about to start her final term as supervisor. You know she wants to go back to the White House in 2024. She doesn’t need any of this Ferrer nonsense.
@HildaSolis needs to watch this KTLA piece immediately.
Q: “Does the public have a right to know?”
A: “No.”

Barbara Ferrer, @lapublichealth and @CDCgov created a feedback loop of bad science to justify the Covid-19 policies that local and national teachers unions were requesting.
Thread 🧵
Barbara Ferrer’s daughter Kaitlin Barnes was hired by LA County Office of Education in late 2020.
Kaitlin almost immediately went to work co-authoring a @CDCMMWR study with 4 of her mom’s high level employees.
The flagrant conflict of interest wasn’t disclosed by anyone.
Of course, Barbara Ferrer denies any involvement with the CDC study written by her employees and her daughter.
As kids were returning to the classroom across the country in August 2021, the CDC used a report co-authored by LA County Health Director Barbara Ferrer’s own daughter to justify school masking, vaccinations and other measures in Los Angeles and beyond.
The report was co-authored by Kaitlin Barnes of the LA County Office of Education and posted to the CDC’s website on September 3rd, 2021. Barnes had recently been hired by LA County as a Project Management Officer during the pandemic and is the daughter of Dr. Barbara Ferrer.
The mother-daughter relationship was not disclosed in the CDC MMWR report despite specific protocols in place by the CDC requiring transparency when dealing with potential conflicts of interest.
