🚨 The deep state is in full PANIC

The CDC director was just publicly fired and she wasn’t even in her role for a month.

But her lawyer says she wasn’t fired…
Now 4 other leaders are resigning too.

Here’s what happened 🧵

1. First, it’s important to know that Susan Monarez was not President Trump’s or RFK Jr’s preferred pick.

Dr. Dave Weldon was first nominated for CDC director but was pulled the last hour because he didn’t get enough senate support.

2. That’s when Susan Monarez was nominated.

Secretary Kennedy showed public support but I called out the BS the moment it happened. Kennedy does not have full control over his department…

3. Bill Cassidy does.

In exchange for confirming Kennedy in the Senate, he had a long list of demands.

-RFK Jr will have a close working relationship with Cassidy with multiple meetings a month.
-Cassidy will help hire for the health agencies.
-Kennedy will work with current safety monitoring systems and not establish parallel systems.
-Maintain the CDC’s advisory committee on immunization practices recommendations without changes.

-CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.
-Will not use “sue and settle” techniques to change policies without Congress.
-Kennedy will come in front of the HELP committee on a quarterly basis if requested.

-The HELP committee chair may choose a representative for any board or commission formed to review vaccine safety.
-A 30 day notice much be given to the committee if the agency seeks to make changes to any of the federal vaccine safety monitoring programs and the committee can review it.

-Cassidy will use his authority to rebuff any attempt to remove the public’s access to life saving vaccines without iron clad evidence that says otherwise.
-Cassidy will watch for any effort to wrongfully sew confusion about vaccines.

4. It is speculated that Susan Monarez was actually picked by Bill Cassidy since he holds the power in the senate.

Less than a month after being confirmed, she was OUSTED.

First The Washington Post leaked it, and shortly after HHS confirmed it.

5. But her attorney says she “has neither resigned nor yet been fired.”

6. An anonymous source said Kennedy instructed Monarez to fire CDC’s top leadership.

Instead, she called Bill Cassidy. That put Kennedy over the edge.

7. Not too long after Monarez was fired, top CDC officials started to resign.

This includes Dr. Demetre Daskalakis who used “scientific reality” and “pregnant people” in the same paragraph.

8. Demetre was the Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD).

He promotes the COVID vaccine, lgbtqi, and the previous administration.

9. Dr. Daniel Jernigan was the director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.

Last year he swore to Congress that “Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective.”

10. It has also been reported that:

Dr. Debra Houry, Chief Medical Officer and Deputy Director for Program and Science at CDC, resigned and

Dr. Jennifer Lauren, Director for the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology, left the agency as well.

11. It’s unclear if these employees left in anticipation of their dismissal.

12. The CDC has big things ahead. Secretary Kennedy is announcing his findings on the cause of autism next month, and we do not need these bad actors in the way.

We are 48th in life expectancy worldwide but spend the most on healthcare. Everything we have been doing is wrong. These CDC employees contributed to this massive public health decline.

It’s time for a new wave. Bring in Dr. Dave Weldon to get the job done.

Thank you for your support as it allows me to continue my work. Let’s Make America Healthy Again 🇺🇸
