Right out of the box, The New Republic goes with the headline, “RFK Jr. Just Kneecapped the CDC on His First Day.”
Referring to the ordered layoffs of employees at the Agency.
The New Republic story is bullshit. Because Trump ordered the purge. Which was a good thing. And even if Kennedy had done it, so what? The CDC and its monstrous vaccine schedule add up to one of the most corrupt agencies in the world.

When it means all these adults are buying MAJOR chemicals to rescue their everyday-state-of-mind. And that’s not good.
