Beyond the Noise #93: A frightening interview



This episode points out the lack of qualifications of the head of the CDC's ACIP and discusses the incorrectness of his statements. As seems usual, the Trump Administration seems composed of people who do not understand basic facts related to their positions.

The MAGA GOP made the choice to put these people in place. Senator Bill Cassidy, "M.D." had a chance to avert the destruction of the CDC by denying the confirmation of RFK, Jr's nomination, but he seems to have chosen to overlook the essential meaning of the Hippocratic oath. (I guess that is not a general precept of behavior to him.)
