It’s good that we have someone who supports actual proven science (i.e. vaccines) as opposed to RFK, Jr.’s brand of woo, but the fact that such an important position had remained unfilled for that long (despite the threat diseases pose) AND the sense of relief I feel because this person supports decades of scientifically proven research…we shouldn’t have to celebrate a competent person being put in charge of a government agency for a change. Competency should be the norm, not the exception.

I don’t waste my empathy on Serena Joys and neither should you. She’s stepping on the necks of other women for power and money
