How about firing whomever was responsible for the "error"

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 9h

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

This is what happens when you become a billionaire, once you've bought everything that can be bought and own everything you always wanted to own the only thing left to do is talk shit, get your face in the media, and score as many ego points as possible.

The man is dead inside, empty.
