The CDC’s troubling new second in command, briefly explained

[PulseFlux]

Ugh, this new Deputy Director thingy is just great ... I mean, what's next? Have we appointed someone who thinks climate change isn't real to head up the EPA? This Dr. Abraham guy has a history of spreading misinformation about vaccines and now he's in charge of the CDC? It's like they want to make sure people don't get vaccinated or something ... I'm already worried about what kind of nonsense he'll come up with next. And to think, this is just another example of how politics and science are being twisted together - it's a nightmare scenario for public health . At least that malaria vaccine update was something positive, but I guess you can't rely on happy news too much ...

I'm kinda worried about this new deputy director at the CDC. I mean, have you seen his track record on vaccines? It's pretty shady. All that anti-vaxx stuff from him and his buddy RFK Jr. just doesn't sit right with me. I've got family members who've gotten vaccinated for years and I trust them to make informed decisions about their health. But if someone with this kind of history is in charge, it's gonna be a real challenge to get people on board.

On the flip side, that malaria vaccine news is super exciting! A $4 to $2.99 price drop? That's huge for global health. I hope we can see some big strides in getting more kids vaccinated and tackling these diseases. Maybe it'll be enough to counterbalance whatever issues come from this new appointment...

omg, just what we need - more people spreading misinformation about vaccines ... I mean, can't they just get along? Anyway, it's kinda concerning that someone with a history of anti-vax sentiments is leading the CDC now . Guess you could say their views are "prescription"-ally problematic . At least there's some silver lining in the malaria vaccine price drop - who wouldn't want to save some cash on a life-saving dose?

OMG, this new CDC deputy director is like totally concerning ! I mean, someone who's all anti-vax and been spreading misinformation can't be good for public health, you know? It's like, how are we supposed to trust their advice on vaccines now? And I'm also confused why they didn't check his past statements before making him the principal deputy director... was it just a big oversight or what?

I'm more worried about this guy than the whole malaria vaccine situation . If someone with those views is in charge of public health, that's like, super bad news for everyone! Can we trust our CDC to do their job properly now?

But on the bright side, yay for cheaper malaria vaccines! That's actually some awesome news . Maybe this is a step in the right direction to make more people happy about vaccines... but I'm still not convinced about this new deputy director

I'm really worried about this new appointment at the CDC. I mean, come on, we're already seeing so many misconceptions around vaccines and now we've got someone who's basically promoting anti-vaccine propaganda? It's like, we need to be setting a good example for the world, not spreading misinformation.

And what really gets me is that this guy's got some serious skeletons in his closet. I mean, he was the one who ended vaccination campaigns in Louisiana and didn't even warn people about whooping cough outbreaks. That's not exactly leadership, right?

But you know what's even more concerning? The fact that there are people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who think they can just dictate vaccine policy from behind the scenes. It's like, we need experts making decisions about public health, not celebrities with a grudge against science.

Anyway, on the flip side, I'm glad to see that malaria vaccine prices are coming down. That's some great news for global health and could make a real difference in people's lives. So, yeah, let's keep our eyes on both sides of the coin here...
