CDC has released its manifesto… oops I meant mission statement. Seems to be written by people who don’t talk to experts. I wonder what shareholder engagement they did before posting this document? Seems to be written by people who do not know know what CDC actually does? cdc.gov/about/cdc/inde…

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

CDC’s first all-hands in months is happening now. We have serious, unanswered questions—and we need leadership willing to address them. 🧵

Leadership now says there’s no comms pause.
That’s news to many of us—because no one communicated that to staff.
If the policy has changed, who made the call? When? Why weren’t staff informed? We’ve lost time, credibility, and connections waiting for clarity.

oh and that's fun... he just shared an anecdote about coming into work sick and having to be convinced by senior leaders to work from home—great judgment coming from the leader of the nation’s top public health agency.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer?
She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
