The person many consider the nation’s top immunologist resigns in disgust from the government’s politicized anti-covid activity.
Public health and safety have been jeopardized by the administration’s hostility to the truth and by its politicization of the pandemic response, undoubtedly leading to tens of thousands of preventable deaths… More than half of the states in this country are reporting rising covid-19 cases. Nine months into the pandemic, the United States continues to grapple with failed White House leadership. Instead, we get the recent spectacle of the president exploiting his own illness for political purposes and advising the nation, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.”
Other researchers will leave in the same disgust, hoping that their gesture will somehow move the country away from rule by self-serving idiots.
