Yup. Julie Gerberding was my wake up moment back in 2009. She ran the CDC during the Bush administration and even met with ASD parent groups saying she would get to the bottom of the link between autism and vaccines. She lost her job when Obama was elected as he did a wholesale firing of Bush appointees. Less that a year later she became president of Merck's vaccine division.

(Side note: Obama's replacement Tom Freiden was director for eight years and somehow even worse. Not only was he a pharma shill but also a sexual predator.)

Revolving door indeed, and this was fourteen years ago. It's much worse now. And its not just a revolving door as that would be bad enough, Gerberding was all to happy to lie to parent's faces while directly undermining them behind their backs. These people are demonic.

It will soon be ten years since the CDC Whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson, has come forward regarding the destruction of data showing a 250%+ increase in Autism in Black male babies receiving the MMR prior to the age of three years. Gerberding was in charge of the CDC. Congress still hasn’t subpoenaed Dr. William Thompson. In 2018, she was named Cunt (oh, sorry) Woman of the Year. She cashed out millions of Merck stock in January 2020. In 2022, she became the CEO of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.

I will never forget Katie Wright's (daughter of NBC exec Bob Wright and autism activist) reaction when when Gerberding took the Merck vax gig, "I think I'm going to be sick".

This was back in the mid-2000's when ASD first exploded and we learned shocking things regarding the cumulative levels of thimerosal and aluminum salts administered to infants. Parents believed Gerberding when she said she was going to look into it. That single duplicitous act ended many parent's innocence as we realized the true evil we faced.
