RFK Jr. fires whistleblower for being insufficiently supportive of viral infections
By 
Time for another round of stories about how RFK Jr. just wants to make America healthy again and what could be wrong with that:
Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, a former director at University of Alabama at Birmingham, and her lawyer are alleging the scientist was fired from her job as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) three weeks after filing a whistle blower complaint against President Donald Trump‘s administration.
According to a release from Marrazzo’s lawyer, Debra S. Katz, Marrazzo found out on Wednesday that she was fired in a letter from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“The Trump Administration terminated Dr. Marrazzo for her advocacy on behalf of critical health research and for her support of the overwhelming body of evidence that shows vaccines are safe and effective,” Katz said.
According to the New York Times, the termination letter she received from Kennedy was dated Sept. 26.
“The health secretary wrote that he had the authority to appoint directors of N.I.H.,” the New York Times reported.
You can’t have dissenters getting in the way of RFK Jr.’s vision for the country, which is already paying off:
A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough, the Mississippi State Department of Health announced on Monday, marking the state’s first whooping cough death in 13 years. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine, the agency said.
Mississippi has seen 115 pertussis cases from Jan. 1, 2025, to Sept. 29. Through all of 2024, the state had only detected 49 whooping cough cases, MSDH reported. Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney said that Mississippi’s last whooping cough deaths were in 2008 and 2012.
“We do believe that declining vaccination rates are impacting this,” he told reporters on Sept. 29. “Mississippi, as you know, scores very high with our rate of vaccination for our infants and school-aged children, but we don’t score nearly as well with adults. And so, our concern is that adult Mississippians are not maintaining the pertussis immunity, which puts our babies at risk.”
America’s long national nightmare of “not enough children dying of preventable diseases” is over. Thanks Bill Cassidy!
