I mean, if you are candidate for the direction of the main disease control institute of the richest country in the world, a few years after a pandemic that sparked massive discussions over vaccines in the public opinion... You should know everything about vaccines pretty fucking well, to even be remotely fit for the postion. At least you should know damn well the results of the long-term safety studies done in over 40 years proving that vaccinations are the safest drugs we have and the massive positive impact they have on public healthcare.
If you need to "be shown those studies" it either means you can't read, or you can't google or you didn't do your homework before. Stuff I would expect from Bachelor's students, let alone the damn CDC president.
Jesus Pete, I have a layman's understanding of vaccines and I feel like I'm more qualified than this chucklefck. He's willfully illiterate and willfully ignorant. You could slap all the studies right before him and he'd still hem and haw.
"Politician" is the one profession in this world where you don't actually have to have any qualifications to get the job. Like, literally, you don't have to know anything about anything. You don't have to know how to drive a car to become secretary of transportation, you don't have to know how interest works to be a minister of finance, you don't have to ever even have so much as read the first sentence of the constitution to be appointed as the attorney general. And that goes for every country. It's just crazy that the people who are in charge of shaping the entire fucking world we live in don't have to know jack shit, meanwhile average people are expected to have 10+ years of working experience in a specific field at age 20 to even be considered for a fucking job interview.
