It’s infuriating watching public health crumble the way it is. Propaganda on the CDC webpages. telling us that vaccines cause autism while at the same time being unable to remove the statement “vaccines don’t cause autism” because of a deal made with Sen Collins.
Please make this stop!!

So Great Again really IS 1800s... #MAGA #RIPCDC RFKjr is ridiculous...

It’s difficult to express how devastating this is to the medical community in the US. #Resist #DefendScience #RIPCDC #VaccinesSaveLives #RespectScience #PublicHealth #NursesOfBluesky

So sad to walk by the CDC, the once proud US government agency, see the posters commemorating past success in fighting for public health in the US, knowing that it is now controlled by charlatans, grifters and anti vexers.

The football star nephew who didn't live to shine.
The beloved aunt cut short.

I dedicate this flower to you and yours who will die prematurely-

Because we abandoned public health.

Love to all.

If this wasn’t so awful, it would almost be funny. #Resist #RIPCDC #VaccinesSaveLives #RespectScience #NursesOfBluesky

Living under the Trump Administration feels like we are playing squid games- we might get rich or we might die. #RIPCDC

O lordy. We’re so cooked 😵 #ripcdc #cdclayoffs

Welp, going to have to mask up again since I'll have no clue what's coming. #RIPCDC #H5N1

Collaborations that worked, or didn't. Competitions.
I wasn't in #CDC but I loved them and sometimes they pissed me off.

But never in a fever dream, did I want #CDC destroyed.
They wanted the same as did all of us.

Hey, not everything the disease cowboys at our once great #CDC did was about storming into remote African villages to try to stomp out Ebola, mpox or Lassa.
Witness the mosquito trap, CDC pioneered to study dengue and West Nile (eg).
These are WIDELY deployed.

#RIPCDC

Enjoy your country's response to pandemic, food-borne, respiratory plagues.
The smartest and most experienced fuck this up, the scientists- at times.

Wait til you see what THIS idiot does.

#RIPCDC

You don't have to travel far, but if you did, you'll get the same answer: MANY worldwide have aped the brilliance of the #CDC model of aggressive, pre-emptive disease control.
Like when then trundled into Zaire and Sudan to fight Ebola in '76.
Risking lives.

None owned it like CDC.

#RIPCDC

In 1981, young men were found dying of mysterious immunodeficiency, later linked to HIV.
We know that cuz, #CDC.
We know of Legionella,US hanta, S American hemorrhagic fevers largely from CDC.

I could go on.

Like many who've plied the microbiological sciences, I've had both love any occasional (competitive) conflicts with CDC. But to allow a storied agency that modeled disease fighting "shock troop" national defenses for billions worldwide to die- I will miss their valued contributions.
