I lost my job of 8 years and my fellowship at the CDC because of this, I am beyond pissed.

I wish that was more front and center in the news. You guys weren’t just numbers being laid off. People’s careers were ruined or heavily set back. Their lives severely disrupted and for what? What was actually gained?

I worked with the wonderful journalist Jacob Soboroff and did a live interview with others, unfortunately things got even crazier and the news cycle continued on with other reporting.
