Over and over I see this summary of events. The incompetent became so enraged over not having leadership positions that they rigged it until they could wiggle in to those spots. Now confined with reality they are so close yet so far from the clarity and realization that what kept them from these positions all along was the fact that they're inept.

Attaining their positions were much, much easier than retaining them

>Malone told Roll Call today 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.” Scientists are not trained to play politics, which is what happens when they ignore the evidence.

If only the current anti-vax community’s parents had been anti-vax

The question is whether or not these anti-vaxxers are really that stupid, or if they’re just evil stooges trying to kill off the naive people who believe them.
