Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired a top official with the National Institutes of Health who blew the whistle on internal clashes over vaccine research in the early months of the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo received a letter from Kennedy — which CBS News reviewed — informing her that her role leading NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, or NIAID, had been terminated. He did not cite a cause beyond his constitutional authority to do so. Last month, in an exclusive interview with CBS News, Marrazzo said she had been silenced when she and her colleagues pushed back against NIH officials appointed by President Trump who questioned the importance of childhood flu vaccines and canceled long-running clinical trials.

of all the shit thats going on this is far and away the most dangerous.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 months ago

This and deliberately ramping up climate change.

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Well, the most immediately dangerous. The process of replacing our top generals with sycophants might kill a lot more people in a few years.

When you build an authoritarian regime all the good decent people get weeded and you're left with a rotted out system of shit like Russia.

And that's why it'll be necessary to weed out every single one of the rabid morons appointed by Trump.

Why are we still citing Nazi bedfellow CBS as a news source?

[–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Because CBS News was the original source. They interviewed her, and saw the original letter. All the other sources merely report second-hand info.
