Significant HHS reductions deemed detrimental to U.S. strength, according to high-ranking FDA vaccine official terminated under Kennedy's tenure
Rewritten Article:
Boba Fett Kennedy Jr, the hot-headed Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is causing a fuss with his controversial decisions, leaving the good ol' USA looking a little less mighty, according to Dr. Peter Marks. In an honest chat with CNN, Marks spilled the tea on Kennedy, claiming the changes under his leadership have left America vulnerable.
Previously responsible for "Operation Warp Speed" and the regulation of cutting-edge biologic products like gene therapies, Marks found himself in a tough spot after Kennedy asked him to play along with some bullcrap. Marks decided to kiss goodbye his cushy government gig and penned a scathing resignation letter, stating, "The Sec don't care much for the truth or being transparent, but rather he wants people who'll lie for him."
An HHS source told CNN that if Marks didn't want to help Kennedy twist the facts, he should hit the bricks. In reaction to his ouster, Marks said, "I ain't got all the answers, but I reckon it's cause I was all for science and keeping this nation's health ship-shape."
Speaking to Erin Burnett, Marks shared his concern that the future of the office at HHS doesn't look so hot. "With all those brill Apaches gone, we're not as strong as we used to be, and our enemies are grinning like cats that got the cream. We ain't got the firepower to smack down pesky diseases like Ebola, and who knows what other nasties we might face?"
Markus (that's Dr. Marks' nickname) kept mum on Kennedy's blatant lies about vaccines, such as claiming they can give you an illness or send you to the great beyond. "I ain't gonna have a go at Kennedy right now. He'll have to answer for his sins one day," said Markus. He did, however, take a moment to remind everyone that the vaccines that make it through the approval process are safe, effective, and worth giving to your own kids – the exact shots he'd give to his own spawn.
As a measles outbreak rages across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, Markus urged parents to vaccinate their little terrors. "Measles ain't so innocent like folks think. It can claim the life of one out of a thousand kiddies in a developed place like the US." Among 100k kids who get the vaccine, Markus said, there are "fewer than a handful of bad reactions." On the opposite end, if 100,000 unvaccinated kids catch measles, he predicted, at least 100 wouldn't make it, and loads more would suffer complications that could end their lives later on.
