Hmmm I would disagree. I hear a lot of his comments and he generally protects his players a lot. This statement he made is a bit misconstrued. He's stating some obvious realities, and if anything, by saying there is nothing "technical" with Palmer, it would empower Palmer more. My $0.02.

@idsky.bsky.social How do we boost the profile of ID amongst the public to understand what we really do?

Most people I speak to think we just deal with epidemics. What are places doing to put a united face of ID expertise out to the public?

several CDC employees working at the NYC DOH were abruptly terminated over the weekend

public health depts in cities all over the country (especially large cities like NYC) rely on CDC resources (including funding & staff) to complete essential public health functions

this is so unfair & dangerous
