The man on the right is the CDC’s former immunization chief.
He quit his job over RFK Jr. — and now he’s on a media tour attacking him.
But Rand Paul just put him in his place with three simple sentences.
And it all started when the “scientist” on the right made a hysterical warning about the very first vaccine given to infants.
Meet Dr. Demetre Daskalakis.
He was the CDC’s director of immunizations until the Trump administration, with RFK Jr. leading HHS, fired CDC Director Susan Monarez after disagreements with Kennedy over vaccine policy.
Dr. Daskalakis immediately resigned. In his fiery resignation letter, he claimed that political interference was undermining science and endangering the public, warning, “Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.”
Since then, he’s been making media rounds, seizing every opportunity to attack RFK Jr.
For context, the hepatitis B vaccine was moved to the childhood schedule in 1991 after it failed to receive uptake among the targeted risk group, specifically, intravenous drug users and those who participate in risky sex.
Children engage in neither, and the hepatitis B vaccine provides protection for only about 6 to 7 years (estimates vary), raising serious questions about why this particular shot is pushed on children at birth.
