Once again, our governing “elites” are illustrating their cluelessness about just how low the public’s opinion of them has sunk, and why.
The latest example involves Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, who rage-quit his post last week after his bosses, noting the pandemic “emergency” is long over, ended special rules allowing for broad use of the COVID-19 shot.
“This is where fascism lives,” Daskalakis angrily declared as he and other Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials stalked off their jobs.
“Fascism” seems to be this administration’s most overdiagnosed ailment, applied with abandon to anything the left doesn’t like.
But Daskalakis’, uh, fevered response is exactly what you don’t want from a public health official.
In fact, given widespread public doubts about the COVID jab and the general debacle of the CDC’s COVID response, the last thing we need is a hysterical and politically extreme figure in charge of immunizations.
We need someone steady, sensible, respectable and respected in that job — but what we got with Daskalakis was another lefty theater kid putting on a show.

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discussed how to downplay concerns about COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and avoid “too precise” comparisons between the benefits of the jab and natural immunity, according to explosive emails obtained by The Post Tuesday.
The messages reveal agency leaders frequently met to discuss public relations strategies that failed to communicate full information about the safety and efficacy of vaccines combatting SARS-CoV-2.
In a Sept. 22, 2023, email, members of the agency’s COVID Coordination Unit brainstormed how to make Americans “more easily visualize their relative risk of getting very sick” based on whether they were vaccinated or used other protective measures.
“Don’t want it to be too precise of a visualization such that people can infer an exact risk or protection score,” reads the message from the address “covidtransition@cdc.gov.”
The nearly 600 pages of internal documents were uncovered by the Public Health Reform Alliance pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The disclosures come on the heels of several public reversals by the CDC on public health measures during the pandemic — including the efficacy of masks, whether the virus was airborne, whether natural immunity provided the same protection, or better protection, as vaccination and whether post-jab infections were occurring.
A House Republican panel report released in October found that the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the CDC, spent $911 million on a COVID vaccine promotion campaign that misrepresented the effectiveness of masking, vaccines and boosters — and “consistently overstated” the risk of the virus to children.
The emails have also been made public after the high-profile firing of Trump-appointed CDC Director Susan Monarez by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.
The COVID Coordination Unit ultimately produced a graphic indicating that cloth face masks, ventilation, outdoor air, and respirators offered at least some protection from infection. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
