Completely. Kaput.<\/p>\n<p>HHS closed down the entire director\u2019s office at the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases \u2014 meaning all the center\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n<p>One former NCIRD leader felt downright gloomy about it. \u201cCDC is over. It was killed,\u201d whined occult Satanist and bondage fetishist Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (and Monkeypox Czar), who recently \u201cresigned\u201d over what he described as Kennedy\u2019s \u201cunscientific takeover\u201d of the CDC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration only knows how to break things. They have placed America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,\u201d said Mr. Monkeypox.<\/p>\n<p>Scared is how they prefer that we be.<\/p>\n<p>On an aside: I can\u2019t believe they picked this guy \u2014Daskalakis\u2014 to be the figurehead for CDC \u201cresistance.\u201d Why not just pick Moloch, or Beezlebub, or even Satan himself? And I was especially chilled by his reference to \u201cattacks by nefarious players.\u201d Was Daskalakis in charge of bioweapons defense? But I digress.<\/p>\n<p>Many top CDC leaders felt the axe\u2019s razor-sharp steel on their professional necks. The office of the director at the CDC\u2019s Global Health Center was abolished (it managed \u201cinternational\u201d coordination). The cuts also included the entire team that publishes the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, as false and deceptive of a government publication to ever soak up ink.<\/p>\n<p>The Epidemic Intelligence Service and the Laboratory Leadership Service was also gutted, although there was a suggestion this one might have been in error and would be reinstated. \u201cA horde of experienced officials have quit or been pushed out,\u201d MSNBC said, \u201cand replaced with anti-vaccine allies and loyalists lacking public health experience or scientific credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the usual suspects \u2014the elite cadre of medical fetishists and pill pushers\u2014 tumbled out in furious force, marshaled to excrete more criticism of Kennedy and the Trump Administration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CDC_Gutted.jpg\" alt=\"CDC Gutted\" width=\"1100\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CDC_Gutted.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CDC_Gutted-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CDC_Gutted-1024x216.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CDC_Gutted-768x162.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I could go on.

I do not wish any ill upon all these fired CDC scientists. I am confident their unsurpassed work ethic, vast technical skills, and friends in pharma will provide them a soft landing. Their pathetic record of dismal, interminable failure and defective deception will not be held against them.<\/p>\n<p>But the firings admit that accountability is well underway, and accelerating.
