During a press briefing on Thursday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. were asked about the CDC's effectiveness following mass resignations due to the firing of its director, Susan Monarez.
00:00My question was, in light of the recent resignation with the CDC, how are you ensuring that that agency is able to do it self-effectively?
00:07I would say this, that first of all, I will confirm that we let go of Susan Minaris yesterday.
00:14I'm not going to talk about personnel issues, but you know, the CDC is an agency that is very troubled for a very long time.
00:22Anybody who lives through the COVID pandemic and saw all of these bizarre recommendations that were not science based, all the misinformation,
00:30understand that the CDC has on its website today that among the top ten medical innovations, greatest medical accomplishments in history was abortion.
00:43This is one of the greatest medical accomplishments because it keeps small families.
00:48Go to the website, look at it, fluoridation, giving kids a toxin, and vaccines.
00:54There's a lot of trouble at CDC, and it's going to require getting rid of some people over the long term in order for us to change the institutional culture
01:05and bring back pride and self-esteem and make that agency the stellar agency that it's always been.
01:12I'm very confident in the political staff that we have down there now that they're going to be able to accomplish that,
01:17and ensure the competent functionality of that agency.
01:24That's it. That's all we got time for. That's all we got time for. That's all we got time for.
