The Republican Swampsters knocked him out of contention.
A few people are covering this, Steve Kirsch for one. But famous Rappoport kicked it off. Awesome catch.
This is so BIG.
And here’s the punch line—there is no way the Senate wanted Dave Weldon to take the slot as CDC director. Why? Because Dave knows stuff. Bad stuff. HEAVY stuff about the CDC.
Dave knows some CDC crimes that’ll make the American people jump off their couches with their hair on fire as they’re watching the TV news.
And if Dave won confirmation and went over to the CDC as chief honcho, one day a lying vaccine researcher could walk into his office and start spouting a mountain of crap about ‘safe and effective,’ and Dave could drop his nice-guy front and hit the ceiling and decide to blow the whole Agency COMPLETELY out of the water.
Which he definitely could.
As you’ll see as you read this story of corruption and betrayal and cover-up—a story Dave knows chapter and verse.
Keep that in mind as I unwind the tale. Dave knows the whole sordid thing. And in the past, he’s proved he has major balls.
The news media are saying Weldon “didn’t have the votes” for confirmation. He’s too “anti-vaxx.”
There’s something much more specific, though.
