Dr Bob, practicing medicine without a license, with his back pocket full of quackery and snake oil. He will kill more Americans in the next ten years than all wars, plagues, pandemics and natural disasters in US history. DISASTER!
If it were up to me every last one of the cabinet and agency heads should resign or be complicit in the sex-crimes cover-up.
Yeah—and the fact an incompetent, ignorant conspiracy theorist is running the CDC and public heath over a cliff.
Having an anti-vaccine quack who is best known for eating road kill, having a brain worm, and cheating on his wife so much she killed herself seems to be highlighting how much RFK Jr. shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the CDC.
I think we ought to do a FOCUSED protest. JUST on RFK
SAVE THE DOCTORS...WALK RFK OUT OF THE BUILDING
The mass resignations at the CDC are a clear signal that the agency’s leadership and staff feel unsafe and unsupported. Public health depends on expertise and stability, and right now, both are in jeopardy.
When you have a worm running the dept is there really any question why intelligent people are leaving?
Thank you
Make America Gross Attacks (MAGA) continue from the MAGA President and minions… congratulations to those that peacefully resist this dictator and his crew of idiotic lunatics.
Yes indeed - Let’s get the politics out of Public Health.
As long as RFK jr is still allowed to “go crazy” like donald wants, is that even possible??? finance.yahoo.com/news/rfk-jr-...

The Prj2025 goal of terrorizing federal staff is working and qualified ppl are leaving, opening those positions for right wing loyalists with no qualifications beyond following exactly what the orange pedio POTUS directs.
Heros
Wow things are going great!
Sadly, this would be a perfect time for an enemy to launch a biological attack. We’d be toast.
This administration should be leaving, not these real leaders.
“Secretary Kennedy’s tenure has been characterized by one disaster after another. It has eroded public trust in the institutions that are critical for the health and safety of all Americans. It is time for him to go,” - NNU President Mary Turner, RN. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nation...

Hah the master race’s inspiring rational people to reject them once again. Some things never change.
Trump would like it to be all politics. He can't succeed because in practice it's the ticking time bomb guaranteed to leave us unprepared for the next big thing. Since Chump doesn't care about the American people it doesn't matter if we all get sick. Demolition is after all demolition.
They resigned in the wake of RFK jr buffoonery, it has nothing to do with the shooting. Do better. Tell the truth.
Nice spin. Layoffs and shooting?
Try firings and a bat-shit crazy leader. You people really suck at your job.
It takes a lot of courages to do this!!!
Republicans in congress need to grow a spine and do what’s right for the American people. Remove/Impeach RFK, and tell Trump to appoint a QUALIFIED replacement.
Out source to Canada - we will take you and the NASA 💪🇨🇦
This makes it worse for us. They’ll just hire loyalists.
More of this. Disrupt and Resist. Rebel together, with joy and pride, and never comply.
What else can they do? Idiots in charge.
People will die! Under new covid vaccine eligibility healthcare workers are only eligible if they are at risk by Brain Worm’s standards! If there’s an outbreak hospitals could be understaffed again! Many are closing anyway! Is there PPE stockpiled or will they try to keep it for themselves? WTAF?!
WHY DID THEY DO THAT, FORBES? And why isn’t the reason included in your headline? Such a f*cking mystery.
If they were at all involved with the Covid response I am very glad to see them go. I bet they all end up with very high paying jobs from companies they used to regulate.
Great, hoping RFK and his team take care of Trump's and his family's hi cabinet's health matters completely from now on.
Why do they resign instead of staying and fighting (let themselves be fired)? Can someone explain why "resigning" is the right thing to do considering the peril the country is in?
We are fucked. The foxes are watching the hen house.
The first step is to fire RFK Jr. Then the Senate must get a spine and quit approving whack jobs for essential positions.
RFK: The Band is Back Together. bsky.app/profile/opsa... Some have fallen into the trap: "RFK said something sensible a while back; therefore, he must be trustworthy". He did, but he's not.
I agree that presidents should not hire and fire CDC employees. Big Pharma, however is FINANCING the CDC and FDA. Why aren’t we looking into this fact a bit more? Are we doing the bidding of greedy international corporations all of a sudden? Is that the new ‘left?’
Republicans are all about politics on everything.
Trump REFUSED to give Dr. Fauci the money he needed for Coronavirus Vaccine Research, instead choosing to spend the money on Vicious Rich Republican/Evangelical Tax Cuts, delaying a vaccine for over a year. 1,200,000 plus Americans died, including 100,000 children, MURDERED by Donald Trump.
Let’s hope Ebola never shows up here again. It won’t be contained this time.
Now headed by a Peter Thiel butt sniffer
Good. We are done with the 1918 bird beak era. Pandemics are bullshit. You don't quantine the healthy. That was stupidity.
Get RFK Jr to do their work bc he knows more than they did
😡😡😡😡
Resign is the same as "run away"
This country has been heading to a dark place for a while. Elites who are so power hungry they have been weakening the United States to push the poor and middle class down so that we have to beg them for anything. Just look at Trump he wants you to kneel if you don’t you are attacked! It’s dark now!
There's also one doctor we'd like to get out of politics as well.
#nolasky #nola #neworleans #Cassity #VoteHimOut
Hi
Trump says, so what
Let them have nothing to “rule over!”
Yeah, and the shitty thing is because they aren't there it'll be far easier to replace them with talking heads who are loyal to the brain worm man and his maga masters.
Bullshit!! Sure, its easy to say “lets get the politics out of public health” when its your politics that dominate it. Like, you want everyone to just never mind that youre a bunch of woke marxists that want to deny biology reality. Fuck you!
We haven't heard from Donald Trump for a full 24 hours?
Did he die in his sleep? He's the most unhealthy person I've ever seen literally being propped up by snorting Adderall.
MSM needs to get on this when we haven't seen Trump for 24 hours we need to be asking did he die, else Miller our Prez.
It's begining to crumble...bit by bit.
I’m not really sure the benefit of them walking out. Now we’ve lost our true line of sight. It feels like.
THEY are the REAL HEROS! CDC!!!!! bsky.app/profile/anit...
Here comes COVID 2.0. folks. Because Trump and the one percent weren't happy with how bad the first round did. This one's going to be a menace.
I wish we could just start pooling our money and have a shadow government and our own alt cdc.
All citizens concerned about this need to file Many class action lawsuits. To the administration, RFK jr And all the maga senators who are drs who voted for this be sued and lose their license. Because the first thing is Do no harm….
Don’t blame them when they have a conspiracy theorist nut job with a brain worm leading the centre
Neat spin. Not "Multiple CDC leaders have resigned after watching their director get canned after refusing to break the law and refusing to resign for not breaking the law."
I mean, you did notice that they didn't resign after the layoffs or the shooting, right?!
Sure this is the backdrop. But they’ve resigned as a result of RFK’s weaponization and dangerous ignorance of public health. They’ve resigned in protest. Don’t gloss it over.
RFK is a mass murderer.
Good for them but bad for the rest of us. The brain drain in our country is going to smack the Cheeto right in the face when he faces the next catastrophic failure of "science" that he failed to trust.
Where are trumps concepts of a healthcare plan???
Fire or impeach and remove RFK Jr. now, "with all deliberate speed!
Chronically Demented Cabinet
Rapidly losing the best and brightest minds in this country,leaving the public to suffer great pain in the near future.💀🇺🇸💀
*Health
Before I put my glasses on I could have sworn that read … Pubic Hair!
This is bad!
And I bet trumps idiotic cult is celebrating this.
not looking too worse for wear, standing up for what they believe is right. #kudos
The CDC is now worthless and meaningless.
Good Let's hope this spreads.
RFKKK Jr is the absolute worst pick ever. This antiwoke antiscience bs has got to stop. PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THIS INSANE MF’er.
The ANTISCIENCE campaign by KKKhristian Nationalists is a fucking criminal act of willful negligence.
Bobby Brainworm will kill millions
Their resignations were about more than that. The maniacal Regime Authoritarian Dictator and the delusional looney HHS Secretary are implementing policies and issuing notices to the public that are not based in fact, true data & a competent & thorough review process. The Regime will get ppl killed.
There was no CDC when America was great.
Brain drain, followed by a padded lock and troops.
Heroes.
We are going to have to get to base zero before people start to fight back ! It is sickening that this idiot (any one of many) is killing America.
The shooting wasn't the reason given you worthless apparatchiks. It was explicitly disavowed as the reason.
Now we don’t have a CDC. Just RFK doing whatever comes into his evil, addled mind. He and trump have the disease of this age: Addled, ignorant, diseased minds that somehow, in addition to their incompetence and love of conspiracy have ill intent in their hearts toward the American people.
RFK jr is a hack and a crank. He has no problem putting lives at risk for his ego. His arrogance to think he can make these decisions without any medical training is jaw dropping.
Let’s not forget the attempted mass murderer at the CDC headquarters — TWO WEEKS AGO — thanks to RFK’s anti-medicine & pseudoscience extremism.
Wormbrain McMengle was elected with the help of a certain lobbying org that says Never Again
From the citizens there rises hero’s!
politicalamericans.com/rfk-defunds-...
RFK announces America First Bird Flu Bitcoins at a Proud Boys rally to offset financial losses due to millions of Americans dying.
Good riddance to the satanic CDC.
Multiple failures of gov't will destroy US, but you won't see warnings. You can't complain, and you'd better have a portrait of Trump plastered on your house, or you, your parents and your children will be imprisoned for life.
In the next 2 yrs, we may have masses die in a pandemic that had no warning, thousands ruined by hurricanes unwarned, runaway inflation followed by recession, foreign attacks (cyber or kinetic), collapse of the dollar, & more, but you can't complain or goons patrolling the streets will disappear you
Yep American gains in medical science will be rewritten to suit the 20s 30s and 40s where people died by the millions in this country from diseases that we had eradicated if you aren't outraged then you're not awake you're not aware or you don't care until you or your family get sick for no reason
We need to stop resigning. Stand and fucking fight!
As long as Paracelsus Jr. is in charge of health institutions, competent scientists will be a burden to him.
Sen. Chris Murphy told the MAGAts, we told the MAGAts and the fat orange one wants the MAGAs dead, as many as he killed with Covid..
Sen. Chris Murphy: “Why are we giving RFK Jr. a pass? Okay, he wants to ban pharmaceutical advertising. That's nice. He also wants to kill our kids by withdrawing vaccines from our schools and taking ...
HEROs every single one.
Hey America! How much Hate and Cruelty are we going to put up with from this Deplorable Cabal that is attacking us ??????
Sadly by leaving you make room for more Trumpian politicos to get in.
Fight fight fight the Trump Reich!
Text SIGN PQLNUW to 50409 to send this to your officials.
We are in some serious trouble.
They have quit because orange blob and reject jr are atrocious and are purposely destroying the CDC.
CDC leaders know what’s really important. They did what should be done. No matter the consequences of leaving their jobs, they know that it’s the right thing to do. They don’t want to be responsible for the death of millions because a worm ate their bosses brain away. Or fake science.
Is it fair to assume that they resign for pensions or income stability?
I think it would be better to stay until one is fired, if one wants to truly protest.
To some degree, it also depends on the media and what stories they will pick up as well.
Working under an ex heroin addict that knows nothing but thinks he knows everything, a conspiracy theorist, a fucking moron of the highest level, a Nazi through and through, a disgusting POS, I don't blame them.
Trump and his incompetent administration has made a mockery of our country. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/law-...
JFK, Jr: ex (hmmm?) junkie, totally insane.
Who in their right mind would ever want to work for a heroin addict ?? JFC !!!!
The options were pretty clear: siding with a criminal to do his bad deed and keep your comfort zone OR leave your comfort zone and chose to do the right think for the country, for your life, for your family and go to sleep with a clean conscience. National guard should learn from this.
Problem could be solved by getting rid of the brain worm asshole
📣Public health surveillance of our nation’s blood supply stopped in April.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Getting the sewage swimming, herion addict with a brain worm out of OUR CDC would be a start.
😪🙏🙏🙏
This means Trump wins twice
Leaders quit, removing problems for the Trump administration. They will not be remembered for their 'bravery'.
Trump fills their positions with his own unqualified kneelers.
Win-win Some people do not like truth. 1776 gave us a nation 2025 gives us weakness
So are they going to start a new CDC? I mean why didn’t they just stay and fight?
Canada could benefit from your expertise.
good let the fukers resign
Now life has thrown me more than I can handle, and I would never reach out if this weren’t urgent. It weighs heavily on my heart — but I still trust in our compassion and shared humanity. Your kindness could make all the difference. If you can help🙏💙 gofund.me/0af928df

I learned today that there was once a time where the cdc was trying to convince the government that gun violence was a public health threat, and they were immediately shut down by republicans, and banned from trying to solve the problem because the nra and for profit prisons 🤬
This is so disingenuous and false framing- the people resigning are making it clear that it is not about the shooting but about the utter abandonment of science under RFK jr and his mad quest to bring back preventable diseases
Big Crime in the White House
This MAGA administration gonna get people un-alived.
Blue states should work together to create an alt cdc.
It won't be long before Canada will need to close its border with the USA to keep the plague out.
Save the CDC! First attacked by a crazy gunman, and then by RFK Jr.
It won't happen but if all employees at that agency under Kennedy, from the custodians to the highest level position all walked out. That would f Trump and the entire administration up. Walk out and say we're not working for this mf'er another day. The problem is those who stay condoned the firing
I'm wondering when Smallpox, Polio, and other old horrors will return; or we get to know some other plague.
Huzzah Solidarity 💙✊🏼
We are fucked!
They should all walk out and join health departments in other areas. New England is already forming a coalition to handle their own infectious disease issues.
I research, wear, and test health and fitness wearables here at Lifehacker. I also have a longstanding interest in public health. I wrote a book on disease epidemics through history. So understand tha...

Civilised countries need good scientists, so they won't be out of work long.
Why are people cheering... These people just gave up their seats... They could have said and resisted and blocked passage of things... Now every last seat they abandoned will be filled with Republican yes men ...
👏👏✊️
Now you know what it feels like working in an insane asylum!
When you’re in a war you don’t just turn and run, you stay in the fight. Quitting is the easy choice.
This dude should get a second opinion from RFK. www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-anc...
The conservative Fox News host said he became ill following a vacation to Indonesia.
Um, no sense in firing him if their plan is to phase out vaccines.
GREAT BUT WHO’s Minding the World? W. H. O. Where are you?
Stay and fight. Don’t resign.
Bravo. Heroes are standing up and saying NO!
Trump and RFK Jr. gutted medical research, spread lies, gutted the government organizations that work to keep us save and direct responses to disease outbreaks. During the COVID pandemic, Trump’s malfeasance caused the deaths the of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Many more people will now die.
Moron administration. VOTE
Public health is politics. People who say "get politics out of xyz" grind my gears. Politics is integral to everything. People who say that are narrow sighted and bury their heads in the sand when political crises hit, until it directly affects them.
Get capitalism out of our health care
Let’s get the asshole who kiss-assed his way into the job. Out of the job.

If I were in trump's America, I'd be looking for a way out.
Another great American institution gutted and left to die under the tutelage of Brainworm Bobby.
I do not blame them. Her replacement, Acting CDC Director O'Niell, wants a kidney marketplace open.
RFK's covid eligibility requirements are beginning to look like a way to vet potential humans to harvest. Get your vaccines, folks.
Heroes
Man. Our country is going down the toilet
They walked out in response to the illegal firing of the Director who supported science and refused to rubber-stamp snake oil witchdoctor policy…
😢
Get the politics out of public health!!
The "brain drain" to our nation's public health will be profound. These folks will not be out of jobs long &, very doubtful, will risk working for the vagaries of gov't political administrations in the future. Private industry &, prob other nations, will benefit from their talents. Our loss.
The very first lesson in grad school for my MPH was that health is political 🫥🫡
The U.S. takes another step towards de-evolving nation status…
... as the bird flu is 1 to 2 mutations away from being transmissible from human to human. I love it here!
People should continue to get vaccines, smart people who don't fall for his BS, and show him they think he's a quack.
I applaud these folks for making this difficult decision! 👏
God damn I can't wait for magaloids to start dying off again like during COVID! I say spread as much disease to them as possible. Survival of the fittest, plus we want them to get to their heaven ya know to meet Jesus!!
Chaos administration.
Fact big pharma panicking
May they all form a collective of sorts and keep on keeping on.
I swear Democrats are absolute tossers. Where is their messaging on this? Where are the TV ads? The radio spots? Dem messaging is an embarrassment. Fire them all NOW!!!!
Like Trump, RFK Jr. has ties to Epstein and was on the Lolita Express Manifest list.
You think Putin might want our ability to combat infectious disease compromised 🧐🤨
Getting them to resign is a masterstroke on Jr's part. Can't be forced to rehire them, can't be sued, don't have to pay severance or pension
Well played Mr kennedy
They really showed you, didn't they!
Just make the Headline RFK is a killer.
More good news! Those nooks tried to kill us
Getting politics out of public health isn't possible along as ppl like RFK & MTG are leaders in the GOP. It's not possible as long as RW "news" platform anti-vax crap. Not possible when education is so underfunded. Solve that and you can fix the rest.
It’s crazy Wall Streets billionaires have decided to crash America for Trump ..
Literally left you the best post pandemic economy and you all are tanking America for this child rapist..
Epstein files must be lit!!
Thanks Forbes big list bros !!!
This is exactly what you wanted for US.
Great, everybody with a brain and morals walks out, did it occur to them that they will be replaced by morons. Thanks, I REALLY feel safe now.
Scientists, researchers, professors and doctors will be highly sought after by other countries as America loses more and more expertise, brilliance, exceptionalism, genius and life changing breakthroughs. And they will be welcomed. Not villified. One day we'll beg them to come back. They won't.
Everyone should walkout!!!
Consider taking an action to stand with CDC staff and their science: sign our letter www.saveHHS.org.
We need everyone to take an action today and NOW!
Follow us for more updates @firedbutfighting.bsky.social a group of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies.
Join us in supporting public health workers and advocating for safer workplaces after the CDC attack. Stand with us to protect American public health and HHS employees.
RFK, the non-medically trained conspiracy nut shouldn't even have the address for HHS, much less be put in charge. He is going to murder thousands of people while his boss makes his weak undelings compliment him with the bullshit preenings that he loves to hear. Russell Voight is a maniac.
Sad what is happing in Republican America...but this IS what they wanted and what they promised, I guess...
Jim O Neil, a venture capitalist with no background in science, and a life-extension kook, is unqualified.
They cannot be complicit in the systematic slaughter of our citizens. Fuck RFKJR
Very soon, maybe even today or tomorrow, you'll see the trump admin saying that the country is better off without any CDC, so they won't have to scramble to try to rehire those that they fired or chased out! USA has lost medical leadership in the world due to trump and his stooges!
