It took HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, but we look to be getting our own Australian Centre for Disease Control.

The fact that it's initials might be ACDC is a bonus 😁

“What the #health & human services secretary, #RFKJr , has done to the #CDC & to our nation’s #PublicHealth system over the past several months — culminating in his decision to fire Dr. Susan Monarez as CDC director days ago — is unlike anything we had ever seen at the agency & unlike anything our country had ever experienced.”

“We have each had the honor & privilege of serving as director of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, either in a permanent or an acting capacity, dating back to 1977. Collectively, we spent >100 years working at the #CDC, the world’s pre-eminent #PublicHealth agency. We served under multiple Republican & Democratic admins—every president from Jimmy Carter to #Trump — alongside thousands of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving lives & improving #health.

“[Acting CDC Director] Mr. O’Neill carved out a career in Silicon Valley, working closely with Peter Thiel, the billionaire and Republican megadonor…

During the Covid pandemic, he indicated support for a number of unproven coronavirus treatments and preventives, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and vitamin D. He has also been critical of vaccine mandates and the Biden administration’s response to the pandemic.”
