Senator Ed Markey @markey.senate.gov

What will it take for Republicans to understand that RFK Jr. is dangerous?

Quote tweet from @AliRogin reading: BREAKING: At least 3 CDC leaders have resigned tonight: Dan Jernigan, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Deb Houry, chief medical officer Demetre Daskalakis, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Possibly more TK. Quoting a tweet that reads: NEW: Following the reports of Monarez’s departure as @CDCgov director, several other leaders have just submitted their resignations: Dan Hernigan, head of the National Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases and Deb Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer. Unclear if related.

It's as if there are vast armies of viruses and diseases just waiting to take over our whole country, make us ill, and kill us off. The person in charge of national health defense, meanwhile, has unilaterally decided to disarm, to throw away our defenses, and allow us to suffer and die. Madness!

We are so beyond fucked! If you all in Congress can’t reach across the aisle and convince your GOP colleagues to stand up we will all suffer. This is no longer along party lines. This is survive regardless of power or privilege. Disease does not discriminate. It’s an equal opportunity killer!

Senator, they know he is. They just don't care. They are too cowardly to stand up to a 79 year old, obese, demented fool. They have dreamed of a fascist state for 50 years and if this is what it takes to achieve their dream, they are all in.

Sadly not even hundreds of thousands of mindless stupid deaths that could’ve been easily prevented can wake these Republicans up to how dangerous Trump and his moronic unqualified egregious administration is!!!

RFK Junior has serious brain damage. Taco must feel so superior whenever he is around. I keep thinking how much I’d like to see his old man kick his ass. And that would be nothing compared to what his war hero uncle Joe would’ve done to him.

Ed. They don't care! The GOP is not interested in anyone having a decent - or even normally long - life. Us dying early is doing Republicans a favor. Saves on Social Security and Medicare spending!

Ed... I think it's time to say what needs to be said and that's that they don't care and that the people at the top will have and use the resources they're stripping away from the rest of us because cruelty is the point. Don't worry. You'll still get elected if you start speaking hard truths.
