A doctor for public health brought the government of President Donald Trump on Thursday on Thursday After the Wall Street Journal reported That the White House seems to dismiss thousands of federal health workers.
“If you have studied the teams, scientists, doctors, leaders who have been trained, they have studied, who have brought experience, who have lived the experience … so that we cannot neutralize threats, you only spread threats in the United States and you only spread those threats abroad, “said Dr. Chris T. Pernell on” CNN newsnight “with Abby Phillip.
“This is not a pseudoscience. This is not a suspicion. This is not an imagination. This is hardcore truth. “
The report notes that – in addition to cutting jobs at the Ministry of Health and Human Services – the White House prepares an executive order that would also ask for the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other health agencies cuts.
Pernell, the Regent-in-Grote for the American College of Preventive Medicine and director of the NAACP Center for Health Equity, stated that the Trump administration did not learn its “lessons” after the COVID-19 Pandemie. She said there are now “spreading” threats Unpleasant public health In the second term of the president.
Former spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, Madison Gesiotto, mentioned in its appearance on the CNN panel a decreasing confidence in public health officials, which encourages Pernell to question her argument. It led to a heated collision between the two.
“I think there are legitimate questions about whether we can trust the so -called experts, and I think people throughout the country feel this sentiment,” argued gesiotto, adding that she does not say that “doctors are bad or every expert bad. “
She continued: “But I think these are legitimate questions because we have been told that this vaccine is safe, this will stop the distribution of Covid and then they evolved to say that it will not stop.”
Moments later, Pernell Gesiotto shouted about her ‘wrong information’, because she noticed that both her father and cousins died as a result of pandemic, adding that she signed up for a vaccine process and her sister was a ‘long Covid survivor’.
The two screamed to talk about each other before Pernell pointed to the “fundamental lack of understanding” of the White House when it comes to public health.

“And you see it with projections of cutting NIH, projections of cutting HHS, CDC, CMS. It’s not logical, “said Pernell.
“And you are not going to find a doctor who sits here and tell you that those actions amount to good health and well -being.”
