As Twitchy reported earlier, infectious disease expert Demetre C. Daskalakis posted his resignation letter from the CDC effective at the close of business Thursday. Daskalakis, who led the White House monkeypox response during the Biden administration, wrote that he was "unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health." After declaring his need to reflect scientific reality, he refered to "pregnant people."

Daskalakis, who was known to model a leather fetish pentagram vest under his suit, added that he was resigning to make his grandfather, who "stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so," proud. OK, enough with the drama.

As we also reported, monkeypox czar Daskalakis said in 2023 that the Biden administration aimed to "support people's joy as opposed to calling them 'risky' … One person's idea of risk is another person's idea of a great festival or Friday night."

There were other big doings at the CDC this week. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump fired new CDC director Susan Monarez.

As we've seen so many times before, Daskalakis was given a hero's greeting by CDC staffers as he left the building for the last time.

Are you referring to the leather fetish pentagram vest he wears under his suit?

By all means.
