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.

It's a sad world when Average Joes like me can say "I'm more qualified to be health secretary" and be right.
