Susan Monarez, the ousted former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, plans to warn a Senate committee Wednesday that if a vaccine panel proceeds with a meeting scheduled for this week, there’s a “real risk” vaccines for children could be limited, according to testimony obtained by CBS News.

She also plans to tell lawmakers her side of the story about a contentious meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that preceded her removal as director, after Kennedy testified to the same Senate panel earlier this month that Monarez had said “no” when he asked her if she was “trustworthy.”

      Most are just sheep, frightened by the horror stories propagated by the grifters whose actual goal is to sell them snake oil solutions afterwards to replace the distrusted actual medical solutions. Watch this happen once RFK has sufficiently abused and defanged the HHS.

      I get some of the older ones, they had some pseudoscience behind them, I get how someone could get confused

      But at this point they just seem like a death cult

    They say risk, but there was an article posted the other day about people unable to get vaccines anymore in some places already.

      The old vaccine has been pulled because it is seasonal, the new one is usually already approved by now but that is seeming unlikely. CA and blue states are basically having to make redundant state health agencies because the federal level is fucked.

    Kennedy testified to before a different Senate panel earlier this month that Monarez had said “no” when he asked her if she was “trustworthy.”

    What obvious propaganda. RFK Jr. either thinks people are idiots or thinks obvious lies no longer matter. I hope he’s wrong about that
