RFK Jr. makes crystal clear to the CDC mutineers: The restoration of public trust 'won't stop'
Establishmentarians' worst fears are being realized at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is putting Americans' health first, challenging the failed status quo, and threatening Big Pharma's apparent influence over the agency.
While there now appears to be a sizeable mutiny under way at the CDC, Kennedy has made one thing crystal clear: He's not backing down.
Frustration with Kennedy has been mounting among medical establishmentarians for months.
'Once RFK provides the other side of the story, there is no turning back for a significant portion of the country.'
There has, for instance, been a great deal of pearl-clutching over his termination of the Biden appointees on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices whose coziness with pharmaceutical companies prompted questions about their vaccine recommendations; his removal of the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended vaccine schedule for healthy pregnant women and children; and his cancellation of mRNA vaccine development contracts.
This shake-up at the CDC continued last week with the White House's ouster of Susan Monarez as director — a removal her attorneys claimed was the result of her supposed refusal "to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."
Amid Monarez's futile fight to keep her job — she has since been replaced by Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill — other CDC officials threw in the towel, including Debra Houry, the chief medical officer; Daniel Jernigan, the director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Disease; and Demetre Daskalakis, the sex-obsessed homosexual "activist physician" who showed up in public wearing bondage gear and served as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
RELATED: How Big Pharma left its mark on woke CDC vax advisory panel — and what RFK Jr. did about it
Following this changing of the guard, over 1,000 current and former HHS staff members released a letter on Wednesday demanding Kennedy's resignation from his position as health secretary.
The Save HHS campaign's letter, whose signatories are not publicly named but have been supposedly revealed to members of Congress, claims that Kennedy "continues to endanger the nation's health" by:
- "facilitating" the removal of Monarez;
- "causing the resignations" of Daskalakis and his ilk;
- appointing Dr. Robert Malone and other experts to ACIP who have in the past raised concerns about experimental vaccines;
- rescinding the Food and Drug Administration's emergency use authorization for COVID vaccines; and
- daring to say that "trusting experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy."
The Save HHS campaign did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.
The Save HHS campaign indicates on its website that its partner organizations include Doctors for America, National Nurses United, and the American Public Health Organization.
The scientific advisory board of the Accountability Journalism Institute is apparently also a partner.
In its petition to remove Kennedy, the AJI's scientific advisory board claimed that President Donald Trump's health secretary "poses an immediate and long-term threat to the health of the American public."
The AJI scientific advisory board's claim appears to be a stone's thrown from a glass house. After all, a member of the board and signatory of the petition is Peter Daszak — the disgraced British zoologist who was formally debarred along with his scandal-plagued organization EcoHealth Alliance in January by the HHS.
RELATED: RFK Jr. pulls plug on mRNA jabs because they 'pose more risks than benefits'
Blaze News senior editor Daniel Horowitz, author of "Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial So This Never Happens Again," noted to Blaze News, "The reason you are seeing so much mutiny against RFK Jr. is because unlike many of the Trump legal and policy changes, which can easily be changed under the next administration, CDC guidance is much more of a cultural influence straight down to individual parents and doctors."
"For years, the industry relied on an air-tight unanimity of opinion in health care and government that every vaccine was as pure as the wind-driven snow and absolutely indispensable for every baby born in this country," wrote Horowitz.
"Once RFK provides the other side of the story, there is no turning back for a significant portion of the country because ultimately it relies on the public confidence in vaccines," continued Horowitz. "It's not like immigration policies with TPS, parole, and expedited removal that the next president can just reinstate the prior policies from day one."
Kennedy noted in an op-ed on Tuesday that while the CDC "was once the world's most trusted guardian of public health" with a mission both clear and noble, "over the decades, bureaucratic inertia, politicized science, and mission creep have corroded that purpose and squandered public trust."
'The CDC must restore public trust — and that restoration has begun.'
The health secretary turned the endangerment accusation on its head, pointing out that the CDC under previous management "produced irrational policy during COVID: cloth masks on toddlers, arbitrary 6-foot distancing, boosters for healthy children, prolonged school closings, economy-crushing lockdowns, and the suppression of low-cost therapeutics in favor of experimental and ineffective drugs."
"The toll was devastating. America is home to 4.2% of the world’s population but suffered 19% of COVID deaths," added Kennedy.
The health secretary noted further that the "truth must no longer be ignored" about the downsides of vaccines, antibiotics, and therapeutics and that "infectious and chronic illness are linked."
Kennedy indicated that his ACIP housecleaning and the replacement of CDC leaders who "resisted reform" were meaningful steps toward restoring trust, eliminating conflicts of interest, and curbing "bureaucratic complacency" at the agency but that there was still much work to be done.
"The CDC must restore public trust — and that restoration has begun," wrote Kennedy. "It won't stop until America’s public health institutions again serve the people with transparency, honesty, and integrity."
To this end, Kennedy indicated that the agency will modernize systems, enhance scientific rigor, build infrastructure, and empower states and communities.
HHS communications director Andrew Nixon said in a statement to Blaze News, "Secretary Kennedy has been clear: The CDC has been broken for a long time. Restoring it as the world’s most trusted guardian of public health will take sustained reform and more personnel changes."

Chinese Stocks Crash After Beijing Seeks To Contain Bubble: What Happens Next
Chinese Stocks Crash After Beijing Seeks To Contain Bubble: What Happens Next
China’s equity rally lost steam in the past few sessions, with the Shanghai Composite sliding -1.3% and losing the 3800 level just 9 days after breaking above it and breaking out above the zerohedge.com/markets/china-st…
two weeks ago. The index is now down 3 days in a row, the longest such streak since May.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
The sell off today was triggered by a Bloomberg report of bloomberg.com/news/articles/20…
for the market after a US$1.2t rally stoked worries of a speculative frenzy a la 2025 style. Policymakers are reportedly considering moves such as the removal of short-selling restrictions and the introduction of other measures to curb speculative trading.
To be sure, none of this is not new: as Goldman HK trader Fred Yin writes this morning, since late last week there were already signs that regulators are trying to cool the temperature on the rally. This however, did not come from the government - as a reminder, in China's centrally planned markets everything is officially sourced - but from "people familiar" so this is almost certainly a plant by someone who missed the China rally and hoped to spark a selloff to get in cheaper. It also expains why the National Team stepped in at the close today to lift stocks - why would they do that if they wanted to hammer the bubble risk?
In any case, some brokers last week raised its margin requirement although it was not an industry-wide action, while over 400 mutual fund products have either announced a halt or cap in subscriptions in August. CSRC Chair Wu Qing <a href="csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c100028/c7580…" rel="nofollow">signaled determination to ensure stock market stability</a> at a symposium this past weekend, pledging to consolidate the “positive momentum” of the market, while promoting “long-term, value, and rational investing”.
Sure enough, Goldman points out that a list of ETFs favored by state-backed funds (“National Team”) saw elevated volume vs 20d average (translation: China was actively stepping in to prop up markets). However it was nothing extreme, suggesting the correction is still within comfort level for regulators

Tech/innovation names were most hard hit: STAR50 had its 4th largest single day loss since inception in Jul 2020
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
AI infrastructure / data centers / semis / humanoid robots all suffered losses, result of perhaps extreme crowdedness
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Cambricon (which we profiled two weeks ago zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-n…
) sank 14.5% on the day, bringing its YTD gains to just +82.7%
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Adding to the risk-off sentiment, Chinese auto giant BYD (002594) cut its zerohedge.com/technology/byd-s…
to intense competition and cooling demand, resulting in -3% slide and extending the recent selloff.
There are some bright spots however: China Solar basket +2.3% was top performing theme after an executive from a leading polysilicon producer said the sector has likely bottomed out
Over on the Goldman high touch execution desk, Yin writes that China A was by far the largest net sold market in the region. Notional traded was over 2x the 4w daily average for a very busy day. The outflow was driven almost entirely by Long Onlies, selling concentrated within Consumer space, ongoing selling namely in EV space stood ou . In addition LOs also sold Industrials / Info Tech and only net bought Utils / Healthcare. Hedge Funds skewed seller too but in smaller size, focusing selling in Healthcare / Info Tech instead.
On the derivs desk, as broader market has corrected for 3 consecutive sessions and falling through 20dma, we are seeing two way traffic in spot (profit taking vs fresh dip buying). Also worth noting is the rotation in size factor since mid-August, which is to some extent correlated to quants performance. Futures basis reverts higher. Even though such inverse spot/basis dynamics observed recently dampens realize volatility, fixed strike vols are in strong bid over the day especially around the afternoon dip. Goldman thinks spot can continue to trade choppy due to thin spot/futures liquidity so convexity remains favorable to own, even though they seem hard to carry on a close-to-close basis.
Below are illustrative buy/sell flows in major markets on the bank's high touch desk:
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Source: GS GBM as of 4Sep25, past performance not indicative of future results
It is worth noting that with the notable exception of 2014-2015 “crazy bull” market rally, Chinese equity market has mostly kept pace with underlying economic conditions. Yet this time around things are showing early signs of stress, or as the Goldman trader puts it, "perhaps the market is getting slightly ahead of the fundamentals." We were less politically correct:
We got ourselves another bubble folks. t.co/5kDJmhPmHl
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1…
Upcoming data releases will be key to watch on whether the economic recovery is on track, including trade data (Sep 8), inflation (Sep 9), and new loan trends (Sep 12)
Taking a step back though, risk appetite remains positive, with activity level remaining extremely high. For a 17th day in a row, turnover in A shares exceeded 2t yuan, the longest stretch on record
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Outstanding margin balance earlier this week climbed to 2.28t yuan, surpassing the previous record of 2.27t yuan record set in 2015.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Source: BBG as of 4Sep25, past performance not indicative of future results
GS PB data shows Chinese equities last month with long buys dominating the flows.
A-shares led both net and gross activity. H-shares and ADRs saw net inflows led by short covers.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Flows into China equity funds picked up, with US$4.1b of net buying last week being the largest since Apr
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
That’s still unlikely to meaningfully address the fact China is still the most U/W market for EM funds (active only)
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
This chronic U/W to China could trigger a flurry of inflows from global allocators, especially with other major markets trading close to ATHs

Ahhhh.... So that's where I left my bong in a past life!
"In 2019, archaeologists unearthed a few precious artifacts from a fourth-century Scythian burial mound near Stavropol in Russia. There were 'golden armbands, golden cups, a heavy gold ring, and the greatest treasure of all, two spectacular golden vessels,' says narrator Garrett Ryan, who earned a PhD in Greek and Roman History from the University of Michigan. The interiors of those last 'were coated with a sticky black residue,' confirmed in the lab to be opium with traces of marijuana."

in reply to Coach Pāṇini ® • • •The image features a stylized illustration with a warm yellow background. In the foreground, a man is seated on a wooden rocking chair, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and boots. He has a beard and is looking to the side with a surprised expression. Next to him is a wooden barrel, adding to the rustic theme. Behind the man, the logo of "Cracker Barrel Old Country Store" is prominently displayed, with the text "CRACKER BARREL" in bold letters and "OLD COUNTRY STORE" below it. The logo is designed to resemble a cracked barrel, fitting the theme of the image. The overall style is reminiscent of vintage Americana, with a focus on simplicity and nostalgia.
