On August 23 former CDC Director, William Foege, sent the following letter to the current director of the CDC Robert Redfield:

Foege is no light weight: "... is an American physician and epidemiologist who is credited with "devising the global strategy that led to the eradication of smallpox in the late 1970s"






I suppose we know Redfield's response is to continue to cower since he got the letter 2 weeks ago and hasn't said anything. It's still an awesome read - so much truth and so well said.

We've fallen so far under Trump's malevolent incompetence. Putin is delighted.

It is doubtful Redfield has a strong enough moral backbone to go to war against immoral Trump:

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, wrote to the White House this week expressing concerns about Redfield’s lack of public health experience. She asked Trump to reconsider the selection, and wrote that some ethics and scientific practices in parts of Redfield’s research in the early 1990s were worrisome—although Redfield was never found guilty of scientific misconduct.

Though the Army acknowledged there were issues about the accuracy of the data, Redfield was ultimately cleared of any allegations of scientific misconduct. However, one of the whistleblowers who raised the issue of the trial data to the Army told Kaiser Health News (KHN) that he remains concerned about what happened. “Either he was egregiously sloppy with data or it was fabricated,” said former Air Force Lt. Col. Craig Hendrix, a doctor who is now director of the division of clinical pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to KHN. “It was somewhere on that spectrum, both of which were serious and raised questions about his trustworthiness.”

I don't think even this kind, yet brutal note from a colleague and friend, would be enough for him to grow a pair.
He won't get fired if he keeps quiet, and if he does speak out he will get replaced with another Trump minion with as much knowledge on the subject as youtube educated Six. That's the "beauty" of the Trump admin; the good people get fired or resign (I hate that) making way for his dummies. This also creates a shift in who in America is interested in going into politics. We just gets dummer and uglier.

"Based on... ?"

It's written right in your fucking document that I guess you didn't read when you took the time to post all of those separate images of it.

I'm left wondering, how can you call a document that you didn't even read "brutally honest" when you don't even realize that I was referencing it when you made this comment.




You go ahead and take that injection, whether it's the CDC or Trump telling you to do it.

Let me know how it works out for you.



Do Right, Be Right. :)

Which user of the 6 account is this? Smeagol or Gollum? Whozit?

I'll try again - easy since you didn't post much. You're saying Fuck this guy why? Or are you saying Fuck the CDC leading the country? In either case, what is that strong opinion... based on?

There's at least one person who posts with 6IXSTRINGJACK that actually makes some sense from time to time. This is not one of those times. Who said anything about a vaccine?

Coronavirus update: New England Journal of Medicine says Trump should be voted out over pandemic management as U.S. death toll nears 212,000
Published: Oct. 8, 2020 at 12:17 p.m. ET

‘When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent,’ say editors of prestigious medical journal.

“This crisis has produced a test of leadership,” said the editorial. “With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.”

The most pertinent Libtard you could find was appointed CDC Director by Jiminy Cotta?

NEWSFLASH: that was more than 40 years ago, for those of you stuck with Libtard Maths.
