Malone claimed on social media that [HHS] had disbanded [the vaccine advisory board] and planned to completely reconstitute it. But soon after, Malone retracted his claim, saying it was a miscommunication and that disbanding ACIP was merely one of the “options being considered.” [A] HHS spokesperson […] then released a statement to media pointing to Malone’s retraction and adding, “Unless officially announced by us, any assertions about what we are doing next is baseless speculation.” Malone [said] that Nixon’s response was what led to his departure. “After Andrew trashing me with the press, I am done with the CDC and ACIP,” Malone said in a text message Tuesday morning. “That was the last straw.”
Sounds like he thought he could say anything and that it would magically happen, and he didn’t like being called out on his bullshit.
“Suffice to say I do not like drama, and have better things to do,” he added. […] “Hundreds of hours of uncompensated labor, incredible hate from many quarters, hostile press, internal bickering, weaponized leaking, sabotage—I have better things to do,” he said.
I’m delighted that he should go off and pursue these “better things”, lol.
