The defiant resistance
Susan Monarez was chosen based on her resume to be the CDC Director by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert. F. Kennedy Jr. The President placed her nomination forward and was confirmed and sworn in less than a month ago. One might think that she would faithfully serve the HHS Secretary but believe it or not she took the position evidently thinking that she could undermine the Secretaries policy on vaccines.
It is not really a question of who is right or wrong on vaccine policy, it is a question of integrity. If one takes on a high-level government position, one is honor bound to serve those who did the hiring. If MS Monarez felt she couldn't do that she shouldn't have taken the job and wasted all that time and effort. To add insult to injury, the defiant MS Monarez refused to resign when ordered to do so. Instead, she (or others) hired the top lawyer in town: Abbe Lowell. Lowell the scumbag said she will not resign, so Kennedy fired her. BTW she has also been accused of leaking information.
As soon as MS Monarez’s was fired, four other top CDC officials resigned. At issue were new regulations on vaccine eligibility.

I don't necessarily agree with the new vaccine policy, but the HHS Secretary gets to enact his own policy.
I'm waiting for the day when MAGAs decide Trump has the right to nuke blue cities because he won the election.
Right now, Trump is only going to threaten federal action on crime prevention and let the democrats continue to defend lawlessness.
It is working great politically.
According to the latest poll Trumps approval rating is 38%.
Does anyone believe that?
And I told you the other day that RCP shows all other polls disagree with you.
I'll take idiotic scenarios for $100 Alex.
Much like progressive district court judges don’t feel bound to follow the law or Supreme Court rulings but think they can follow their own preferences, federal bureaucrats think they can decide agency policy, and not the head of the executive
It used to be a blemish on a judge's record. Now it is worn like a badge of honor.
It is no wonder that Harry Reid had to change the rules in order to get such radical lefties confirmed.
For some reason these "judges" feel they are above the law. Well, at least until Hannah Dugan did something stupid:
"Dugan faces up to six years in prison and a $350,000 fine if found guilty."
We need to set an example. I pray that she will be the first.
It should have never have gotten to this point. Too many are putting party affiliation over the law.
They never should have been confirmed.
President Trump is finally following the money that has been supporting protests in LA and DC.
He is getting closer to ...
We all know who controls the crazies in America and it's not the Jews.
We sure do and it isn't anyone on the right
Ah yes, 2 of the Biden administration's MANY DEI hires.
A pattern?
I'd say so.
These kids are not only mentally ill, but there is a deep anger within them towards normal children.
Poor Karl Rove. He forgot to praise the leader of the counter revolution.
What a mistake!
BTW, there is another defiant resistance member: Fed Governor Lisa Cook who also refuses to step down!
I’m still don’t think she’s ever denied committing mortgage fraud.
No, she hasn't. They seem to think that President Trump is the only President who is not allowed to fire people.
Good morning to the dedicated employees
This statement is contradictory. By tossing out issues of right and wrong then the question is no longer about integrity; it's solely about loyalty.
The author is wrong on this point. Blind loyalty is why Pres. Biden's condition was hidden from the public. Loyalty is a fine thing but should never be allowed to overwhelm integrity within the civil service.
There seems to be a common misperception that the civil service is some sort of political institution that must conform to the whims of whatever dickhead is in the Oval Office. That's a falsehood, an untruth, a lie. The Federal government has a uniformed civil service known as the military. And the Federal government has an non-uniformed civil service known simply as the civil service. Both the uniformed and non-uniformed civil service are required to take similar oaths of service and perform their duties under similar codes of conduct and ethics.
I think I understand what the author is trying to say. But reinforcing misperceptions and relying on political tropes is not the way to do it.
"Lowell the scumbag ..."
Just out idle curiosity, does that make his equally Jewish clients scumbags ... ?
Who said anything about Jews?
A whistling dog.

Ah,yes....the whistle only leftists hear.
Seems to be a pattern....
WTF?
No.
They are honor bound to serve the American people.
I don't think she is supposed to serve anyone but the American people. Her salary is paid by us and her obligation is to protect us, the American people.
If MAGA doesn't want vaccines then don't take them. Your life is your own to risk.
But to force out highly qualified people that were approved by Republicans to serve all Americans regardless of party is ridiculous.
Why does MAGA agree with allowing RFK to take away our freedoms to make our own choices.
The "tea party" extremists that morphed into the "Freedom Caucus" are silent and running for the hills, trying for other state offices in upcoming elections.
I thought they loved our freedoms? I guess not. I guess Republicans no longer love our freedoms. They are also silent.
I agree that she was to serve the American people and I am not happy with the departure of so many from the CDC. That is not an organization that should rubber stamp anything, despite the past history of partisanship that we've seen. Some will deny it but it did happen.
But I have an issue with your second line.
During the Covid pandemic, how many people in government service and the military lost their jobs because they refused the vaccine on religious grounds? Approximately 17% of private companies also mandated the covid vaccine for their employees.
How many liberals on this very board were very public in the mandating of vaccines, demanding that everyone needed to take them to obtain herd immunity thus making them safe.
I think you're forgetting or ignoring very recent history.
Thanks to RFK Jr and America's new political priorities concerning health issues...
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
Along with deportations, helping this to happen....
But hey, it's not all that bad. It'll probably lead to house and rental prices to decline.
