Former CDC official ‘only sees harm’ to public health under RFK Jr’s leadership

Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned after White House fired CDC chief, cautions against ‘undoing of vaccination’ to ABC

The former immunizations director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned of the future of American health under the leadership of Donald Trump’s health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr.

In an interview on Sunday with ABC, Demetre Daskalakis – who resigned this week in protest over the White House’s firing of CDC director Susan Monarez – said: “From my vantage point as a doctor who’s taken the Hippocratic Oath, I only see harm coming.”
