‘Buckle Up Baby, You’re Going to Be Sick’: MSNBC Host Warns of Dire Consequences of RFK Jr’s CDC Purge

Chaos at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could lead to more sick Americans who can’t get access to vaccines and the scientific data they need to stay well, according to MSNBC’s Michael Steele.

Steele, former chief of the Republican National Committee, appeared on a panel discussing the ouster of CDC Director Susan Monarez by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr..

MSNBC’s Chris Jansing asked Steele, “What’s the average American to do, whose lives or their ability to have a good life depends on a functioning CDC and FDA?”

“Buckle up, baby, you’re going to be sick,” Steele answered. “The explosion of measles this academic year in schools across the country is going to be — we’ve seen what happened just in the first part of this year in places like Texas at the end of the school year.”

Steele continued:

Now we’re about to go into a whole new school year and and the idiocracy that’s running our health care is saying, you know, “Children don’t need to…have the vaccines that they need to protect themselves and other kids.” So, yeah, people are going to get sick, people will die, and people won’t have access…to the information they need to to keep them healthy and to save their lives because the data is B.S. It’s made up. It’s not real.

RFK Jr., a well-known vaccine opponent, has promised to reveal in September what’s “clearly almost certainly causing autism,” which drew Steele’s ire.

“We all know what this autism report is going to say. You think after all of this, they’re going to put out a report that confirms that there is no link between vaccines and autism?” Steele exclaimed. “No! We already know the reports, what it’s going to say. And yet the press and and the politics are going to pretend like this is somehow going to be news. They don’t need to go study. What study?”
