not something you ever want to hear from past CDC leadership, but it’s the truth
His view on the future is pretty bleak. He thinks much of what public health has achieved in the US will be dismantled:
"We've entered this, like, dark age and it's going to get worse. It is going to get so much worse."

At least they're proving to us that their understanding of "free speech" is the same as Charlie Kirk's understanding of it.
You're free to agree with them, but if you disagree, or even if you just quote them back to themselves at the wrong time -- they will punish you for speaking freely.

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.
