BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass [clap out].
They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base.

Three of the officials who have resigned in protest, outside CDC HQ just now with their colleagues.
In his resignation letter Dr Demetre C. Daskalakis (on the right) warned that the Trump administration “risks our personal well-being and the security of the United States.”

Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.
