Sensation has caused to the USA In the morning, Greek-American infectious Dimitris Daskalakis, who resigned from the leading US public health organization with a letter to the American Minister of HealthRobert Kennedy Junior.
As Iatropedia.gr revealed, Mr. Daskalakis openly accused the US Health Minister of Health for authoritarianism, manipulation of scientific data to ‘match’ with his views and making anti -scientific decisions which will lead a lot of people to death and disability.
He did not hesitate to point out that he resigned to honor his grandfather in Greece, who resisted fascism and lost his life for it.
Dimitris Daskalakis draws his origin from Evritania. Born in Washington, grew up in Virginia and studied at top American universities. These include Columbia and Harvard.
Raised in the AIDS match
The 53 -year -old doctor is an emblematic form in the fight against AIDS in the city of New York. Being a gay and activist for the rights of the LGBTKI community, he worked hard for years at the city’s health ministry to reduce the new cases of HIV/AIDS infection.
Mr. Daskalakis is a staunch supporter of “neutral care”. It is a HIV prevention and treatment strategy that applies to everyone (HIV -positive and non -serving) the same initial care. He also strongly promoted the precaution before the report (PREP). He is largely credited with the decline in outbreaks of the disease in the American big city.
His efforts were also identified by the Federal Disease Control & Prevention Centers (CDC). In 2020 he was assigned the role of manager in the area of HIV/AIDS infection.
Despite his age, he has already gathered almost 25 years of experience as a physician and infectiousist. It is also considered to be HIV/AIDS infection, antiretroviral therapy and opportunistic infections.
And to the White House
In August 2022, then -US President Joe Biden appointed him a Deputy National Coordinator of the White House for MPOX (formerly Picks). MPOX had a worldwide exacerbation in the period 2022-2023, while still causing sporadic cases worldwide (and in our country).
Mr. Daskalakis was then appointed Director at the National Center for Vaccination & Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) of the CDC. A few weeks ago, the windows of his office were fired by an anti -vaccination who attacked the CDCs. He was not in his office at that time and so he was not injured.
Today, after the dismissal of the new CDC director Mrs Susan Monkrez, Dimitris Daskalakis has overwhelmed his resignation from the CDCs. At least three other centers officials did the same.
“All these years I worked in the field of local and national health, they never experienced so much radical lack of transparency. I didn’t ever see so much unmistakable manipulation of (scientific) data, for the achievement of political purposes’, He writes among many others in his letter of prayer.
And he concludes: “I hope the CDCs continue to successfully in their vital mission and the Ministry of Health to reverse the dangerous path (which has taken) to the dismantling of public health as a practice and an institution. If they continue the current course, they endanger our personal well -being and security of the United States. “
