Nothing Of Value Was Lost: Former CDC Doc Explains 'Pregnant People,' Pronouns In Resignation Letter

Posted • August 30, 2025: The other day, CDC infectious disease doc Demetre Daskalakis resigned with a dramatic letter lamenting the 'unscientific' approach the organization was taking under head Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. —— He completely negated any argument he might have had by including the term 'pregnant people' and his pronouns at the end of the letter, of course. Now he's explaining why he did it. —— Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy at trying to erase people and not allowing them to express their identities. So I accept the note from the press secretary and counter that with I don't care. —— Much expert. So science-y. Everyone is focused on the pronouns and 'pregnant people' remark which, make no mistake, are as anti-science and political as can be.

But those critics are missing what's really disqualifying about Dr. Daskalakis. He's the same guy who refused to tell gay men to abstain from sex during the monkeypox outbreak a few years ago. Why? Because he wanted to 'support people's joy' instead of calling certain behaviors 'risky.' His job with the CDC was to preserve public health and stop the spread of disease. He didn't do that, because his politics and his sexual orientation overrode public health. And he wonders why people don't trust the science anymore. The sheer irony is that he's erasing women, but his ideology and virtual-signaling arrogance is blinding him from realizing what everyone else sees. It's the difference between having a brain and being brainwashed. Good riddance brainwashed nut. The CDC is better off without him. He is very specifically broadcasting his mental fragility. He got erased from his job. After erasing the CDC's credibility. (…)
