Good point, Angie:
"I have a gut feeling that Gerberding is just going to slither away like the snake that she is. However, its up to us, our community to HOLD HER accountable for this...just because she is no longer in 'charge' of anything, doesnt give her immunity from future prosecution does it?"

Look what happened to the guilty parties when mercury/amalgam fillings were finally declared by the FDA to possibly have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetus. Basically, nothing!

Dentists are still putting mercury into people's mouths and no one at the ADA or the FDA is getting any heat for allowing generations of Americans to be poisoned with fillings loaded with mercury.

When it comes to justice, we have a long road ahead of us. (That said, it's still reassuring to know the wicked witch is dead. "I'm melt-innnng!")

let us pray that the new administration will do the right thing. they certainly have the oppurtunity by putting the mess on JG's watch as it should be. i don't really care who they blame as long as they move in the right direction. and fast !

I can't seem to get this out of my head:

"Gerberding-dong the bitch is gone!"

(Think wizard of Oz...thanks, Kim for getting that stuck in my head :P)

Wow! I didn't know that Santa was visiting again so soon - It feels like Christmas morning with such wonderful news.

As we marched past the CDC in June and chanted "Too Many Too Soon" - we added our own chant as well "You Broke Him - Now Come Fix Him!"

And I will say it again - Don't let the door hit you in the ass!

Maybe we should all send her a farwell gift - how about a round of Vaccines for ya, Julie! Some Toxins for the Road!! I would be glad to help her out!!

Forgive me, I'm by no means defending JG but I thought somewhere recently she made some slight concilliatory comment, but I don't remember what or where or when ... must be all that mercury in my mouth.

Gatogorra-
I don't think it could happen to a nicer person, orange in for sure her color, goes nicley with the gray hair. I would love to see Paul offit in a nice black and white number with spagetti straps and a sign on the back saying "come here lover boy". Now there's something to dream about!!!!!

AJC reports these are the new names in the hat.
"Among the candidates for CDC director whose names have surfaced in the public health community, according to advocates, are CARE president Gayle, New York City health commissioner Dr. Thomas Frieden, Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, and Los Angeles health director Dr. Jonathan Fielding."

Out with the old- in with the new. Can't overhaul the healthcare system retaining the same old fools who helped mess it up in the first place.

"Leavitt explained his move this way: "The next phase of Transition involves the departure of our team on January 20, and the arrival of President-elect Obama's team later that day," his e-mail said. "

I know it's too much to ask, but could Obama's new team yell "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" as they pass by Gerberding's team...

Ok, I know it won't happen, but in my mind, I'm playing it over and over. ahh...satisfaction!

The press in Atlanta now is not exactly giving her any fan fare.
She credits herself for saving us from monkey pox and avian flu pandemics. (Oh wait that didn't happen.)
She leaves with scandals nipping at her heels and the press has not glossed it over here...
NIH grants misappropriated.
Millions in computer equipment lost.
Great Lake studies botched and covered up.
Incorrectly helping 9/11 first responders.
Sanctioning cancerous trailers to hurricane victims.
Oh and forgetting about a generation of vaccine damaged kids.
Good riddance.

Bek,
I looked up previous CDC directors and their worling dates do not seem to coincide with the changing of the guard, so-to-speak.

And please excuse my typo's, I have a large, bandaged finger that is getting in the way LOL:)

Okay, just googling, and came across this. Bearing in mind that this wsa written about teh time we went to war, and the fear of bio-weapons was in our face....
Read down to paragraph 7:

WWW.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/surggeneralspoxvac.html

Is there any chance that someone like JG could be called to Surgeon General position?

What I'm worried about is if the next person the put in her position will be an even worse monster than she is. Scary thought to keep all of you up tonight....

Echo that....

But for today, it does feel good.

This on the heels of CoMed being knocked down in court.

One step forward, two back....

Gee I thought she got some kind of excellence award from Bush a few months back,I guess some folks in the new administration were not so impressed by that.
It appears that many at the CDC may soon be less afraid to expose some of the secrets of the Gerberding regime,this could be very interesting.
Gerberding will always need to be watched because anyone that commits crimes against humanity is very,very dangerous.

There were many reasons to can Gerberding, including her cover-up of the FEMA trailer poisonings. I'm just hoping one of the reasons for her firing had to do with her cover-up of the epidemic.

Last night, as I was falling asleep, I thought that if Daschle and Obama have any plans of overhauling the vaccine system, even to a conservative degree, the AAP is so incredibly arrogant and dependent on the kickback that they'll go into overdrive to defend the existing orthodoxies. Obama and Daschle may as well be hung for sheep because there will be an explosion of controversy no matter what. Pharma will lobby corrupt members of Congress, the AAP will prevail on its own members, the "mob" element of the public will feel threatened with "preventable disease" and may put pressure to bear on the admin., etc.

So it occurred to me that Daschle may have to set about some prosecutions for fraud and negligence regarding the epidemic, like lining castle bridge with a few heads on pikes as a warning culprits and propagandists of what could happen to them if they continue ranting and trying to cover things up.

So much trouble would ensue from trying to make simple changes that it worries me that most administrations and most politicians would fold and decide that they'd better not take the lid off the can of worms. It has to be done, though. If it is, I don't think I'd feel that sad if the first head on a pike were Gerberding's.

I would just feel sad that it had all come to this. This didn't need to happen to any of our children.

It is a WONDEFUL day! Much celebrating going on within the autism community. It honestly feels like a holiday. And Jenny McCarthy, Thank You!!! I beleive that your efforts had a lot to do with her resignation, no I take that back, I know they did... Every person in our community is thankful to you for SO MANY reasons. Here's a much loved quote by Chelsea Handler, "Julie Gerberding You Can Suck It Hard!" Oh, Memories...

She may well soon go down in history as having been tragically stubborn and wrong on autism, ultimately responsible for more preventable long term injuries and avoidable long term costs than 911, anthrax, the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts and Katrina combined.

Maybe she read the Mind report the other day, that autism is really an epidemic, and died of embarrassment, shock, and awe. I can dream can't I?

Seriously, CDC doesn't cure disease, they allow it, and lessen every chance for discovery of what causes disease for the sake of a giant movement called eugenics. Or, for friendships, egos, stock holdings, and the like who have padded pockets full of money.

We are not alone in this...the lyme people see right through her, the cancer people, the AIDS people....all of them have a bone to pick with her. But the whole agency is set up to hide facts of what causes disease...obviously, all of them have roots in infection, toxins and "regulations/recommendations" of products/services regarded as "Safe". All of which, if hidden from public view, generates zillions of dollars in the coffers of the medical system, and governmental agencies and politicians. There is no transparancy in the entire operation, and because of that, they literally get away with murder, promulgation of sickness, infantacide, and genocide. They hire people known as the EIS, the make SURE we as the american people are sold a bucket of lies, and makes SURE that the media, researchers and publishers and those in authority, NOBLISSE OBLIGE, are feeding people lies, upon lies, upone lies. Welcome to the matrix of the medical system. Welcome to the civility of our world, NOT.

I'm glad she's leaving but lets not get our hopes up too high till we see who her replacement is. I hope this doesn't turn out to be an example of "better the devil you know"

I wish that woman not one days happiness for the rest of her life.
I wonder who will replace her, please dear God, not thing 2.

I,ll say it Kim,The BITCH is gone and not a minute to soon. I could go on but my energy need to be spent on recovering my two boys.
