I'd first like to say why I liked your post- you managed it. I'd begun to think that posting without insults in this thread was beyond you for the forseeable future. I'm glad that I was mistaken.
Alright, as to your quote from Dr. Demetre, former Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, I'm glad he was civil in his resignation letter. Getting back to the subject of this thread, the new (now former) C.D.C. Director's firing, Children's Health Defense wrote a good article on the subject here:

The White House confirmed the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez late Wednesday after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to force her resignation and she refused to leave, The New York Times reported. Kennedy defended the move, saying it “may be that some people should not be working there.”

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said today on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” reported by The Hill, that he is “not surprised” by the upheaval at the CDC following yesterday’s firing of the agency’s director.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “is in trouble, and we need to fix it — and we are fixing it — and it may be that some people should not be working there anymore,” Kennedy said.
The White House confirmed late Wednesday that CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired after Kennedy tried to force her resignation and she refused to leave, The New York Times reported.
Four other CDC officials then resigned, citing their frustration with Kennedy’s leadership.
Monarez, confirmed by the U.S. Senate less than a month ago, reportedly clashed with Kennedy over changes in vaccine policy, according to The Washington Post, which first broke the story.
The agency needs “strong leadership” that will “be able to execute on President Trump’s broad ambitions,” Kennedy told Fox News.
Kennedy also said the CDC has placed too great an emphasis on water fluoridation, vaccines and abortion.
In an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” this morning, Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said the Monarez conflict marked a “threshold moment,” especially given the pharma-backed mainstream response to recent moves at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that demonstrate the battle over vaccine policy is heating up.
In a statement, Holland also said:
“What is clear from the past 24 hours is that there was a lack of alignment between the CDC director and the administration. From what we know, director Monarez did not want to implement the president’s and secretary’s agenda, and, as expected when a political appointee does not follow the administration they serve, she was dismissed. Her termination, along with the resignations of the others, is a liberation for the CDC.
“The agency’s mission is to serve the public, but for the last two decades, it has served the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of public health. We are hopeful that the new leadership chosen by Secretary Kennedy and the president will return the agency to its original mission and restore the public’s trust.”
