Former Directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the US Public Health Service today expressed their concern about the “destruction” of Public Health Political, especially in the matter of vaccination by his government Donald Trump.
CDC scientists are particularly anxious about public health in the US, especially in vaccination, by the Donald Trump government, accusing it of politicization and “ideologicalization” of science.
US Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Junior, a skeptic against vaccines, has been in an open conflict with the CDCs, the Health Organization under his supervision, since the ministry announced last week by the Director of the CDC.
After this development, CDC’s and respiratory-friendly vaccination chief of vaccinations-such as COVID-19-Dimitris Daskalakis resigned Also, along with many other senior officials.
“I had worries for months,” Mr Daskalakis told ABC News. But “I never imagined that (…) the wall of protection between science and ideology would completely collapse,” said the director of the National Center for Immigration and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD).
Daskalakis also said that he is afraid that Robert Kennedy Junior would change his recommendations for Hypatitis B vaccines for newborn babies.

“From my perspective as a doctor who has given Hippocrates oath, I only see evil coming. I may be wrong, but based on what I see, based on what I have heard with the new members of the Vaccination Practices Advisory Committee, they are really moving in an ideological direction where they want to see the abolition of vaccination, “Daskalakis said.
“They want to remove mRNA vaccination. Have a very specific goal for Covid. But I am afraid they have other things to work. The hepatitis B vaccine is on the agenda of the September meeting, “Daskalakis said.
According to Monaraz’s lawyers, the former CDC chief had refused to “approve of anti -scientific and dangerous directives” demanded by Minister Kennedy, known for his anti -vaccination.
In place of this professional scientist, the White House will appoint Jim O’Neill, Kennedy’s right hand and former technology funder, as a temporary CDC director, the Washington Post said.
“The fact that we do not have a leading CDC steering wheel means that we will not be able to negotiate with the Ministry of Health to truly implement a good public health policy,” Daskalakis said.
Worst of all, for Tom Frieden, who led the CDCs from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama’s two presidencies, “Public Health is attacked”.
“What we see is unprecedented. He has never been fired CDC director, “CNN told CNN about Montarge, who had been appointed Kennedy a few weeks ago.
According to Frieden, “it is no longer possible to have confidence in anything that comes from the Ministry of Health or the CDC”.
He also denounced the “extensive damage” caused to “controlling tobacco consumption, advances in the quality of tap water” and “in the dissolution of vaccination infrastructure”.
“They are destroying our health protection. We are less protected, “the doctor concluded.
