RFK Jr. Fires CDC Director, Claims Politics Cure Needed
On an impeccably chaotic April day, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided running the CDC with a sledgehammer was the cure for 'political bias' by abruptly firing the agency's directorâso abrupt, it stunned bureaucrats like a reality show elimination. Kennedy Jr., known mostly for making headlines by making headlines, apparently took a break from family reunions to accuse the CDC of partisanship, proving that if subtlety were a vaccine, he'd be patient zero. The dramaâfresh enough for a soap operaâleaves Americans wondering if diseases now include leadership incompetency, and whether fired directors come with golden parachutes or just a loud farewell clap.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just turned CDC leadership into a game of political musical chairs. Spoiler alert: when the music stopped, bias got fired and chaos got promoted.
Firing CDCâs director for political bias is like blaming your GPS for getting lost right after you threw it out the window.
Kennedy Jr. firing the CDC director is political theater so raw, even soap operas are jealous of this plot twist.
