CDC workers walk out, join former employees in protest calling on RFK Jr. to resign

Is America great yet? Asking for a friend.
I understand it's easier said than done but I hope many noble bureaucrats hang onto their positions for as long as possible and do whatever they can to maliciously resist. Anyone who leaves will be replaced with someone far worse, sadly.
I suspect they won't be replaced and the systems they supported will just rot.
