Is your argument that it needed to be a joint letter in the NYT for it to matter? Many public health experts including former directors were shouting about this from the time DJT said he would put the guy forward. That’s why questioning during his confirmation hearings took the shape that it did.
No, I wrote about the former CDC Directors speaking as a group, and also mentioned the New York Times election year coverage. I didn’t write “nobody said anything,” nor something remotely equivalent.

hence my question: "is your point that they are all writing together and publishing in the NYT?" because that's just... ok
nothing in the NYT during election coverage? this is fascinating, because other media outlets covered his promise in October 2024 that he would bring the dude in to 'shake up' public health. sigh. again... ok. fascinating.
