CDC Staff Bail Faster Than You Skip Leg Day
In a plot twist juicier than a Twilight reboot, CDC Director Susan Monarez tagged out just weeks after July 29âs Senate confirmation, leaving behind a ghost town of resignations. Debra Houry, Daniel Jernigan, and Demetre Daskalakisâall high-ranking health heroesâalso sprinted for the exits mid-August amid chaotic job cuts and a gunman inspired by anti-vax madness at the Atlanta HQ. Daskalakis called it 'weaponizing public health,' Houry blamed 'ongoing changes,' and neither HHS nor the White House returned callsânot even a 'kthxbye.' Meanwhile, COVID vaccine eligibility got tighter the same day, causing more internal drama than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.âs contradictory vaccine vibes. The Trump-era health bureaucratic soap opera marches on.

CDC staff are resigning so fast itâs like their last day was a flash mobâjust less fun and more âweaponized public healthâ drama than anyone ordered.
If the CDC was a party, everyone just collectively left because someone played 'anti-vax' on repeat and cut the snacks down to nothing.
When even the CDCâs top docs start dropping faster than you can say 'job cuts and gunman threats,' you know the plotâs thicker than a conspiracy forum.
