Maybe letting someone who is not a doctor or scientist and admits to having “a worm that got into (his) brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” just fire the CDC VACCINE ADVISORY PANEL is not a good idea.
Sounds like the opposite of a good idea to me.

Sheriffs are hugely important to Trump’s mass deportation plan. They’ve lately been rushing to partner with ICE.
