Why is the answer never to respect that voters are adults who make choices? The loud, repeated message is “close hospitals and nursing homes in my community, taking money from cities to pay for them makes me feel left behind.” You don’t have to agree, but have the respect to listen.

Resignations of CDC staff directly related to misinformation, weaponizing of public health, which is coming from RFK Jr. Untenable situation for them to serve under these conditions. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

In his resignation letter, Daskalakis wrote, “I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health.” Houry’s resignation letter spoke about the continued spread of misinformation around vaccines. “Recently, the overstating of risks [of vaccines] and the rise of misinformation have cost lives, as demonstrated by the highest number of US measles cases in 30 years and the violent attack on our agency,” Houry wrote.
