Paul: Gay CDC official’s ‘lifestyle’ disqualified him from government

j brown's body said:

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that a gay leader at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who resigned last week in protest of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had “no business being in government” due to the “lifestyle” he led.

Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, was among the four CDC leaders who resigned last week, saying in their resignations that the changes under Kennedy were preventing them from carrying out the agency’s public health mission.

“One of the guys that is the biggest proponent of doing all this is the guy who describes the risky behavior that he and his lifestyle involve. He describes that as that may be risky behavior to you, that just brings us joy,” Paul said when asked about the exodus in CDC leadership Tuesday evening, referring to Daskalakis."

What exactly is risky about being gay, married and monogamous? Jerk.

Some deep impulse to smash the weird, and have a monotonous society. Contemptible.

Also irrelevant. Who cares about the qualifications of a resigned official to lead a defunct health agency? Best thing we can do with the CDC now is drop its budget to zero after first VERY carefully extracting all etiologic agents, especially smallpox, from the ham-fisted goons in charge and incinerating them most thoroughly. Democratic Republic of Congo has a quite good health department - maybe they can take over the research.
