Ex-CDC Vaccine Chief Scorches 'Bigoted Bully' Rand Paul For Saying ‘Lifestyle’ Disqualified Him From Job

“He doesn't know my husband, and he doesn't know my family. So I'm not sure why he feels willing to comment on my personal life,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a former top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, completely unloaded on Kentucky Senator Rand Paul Saturday morning after the Republican lawmaker criticized his “lifestyle.”
“You know, he doesn’t know me,” Daskalakis told CNN’s Victor Blackwell. “He doesn’t know my husband, and he doesn’t know my family. So I’m not sure why he feels willing to comment on my personal life.”
Daskalakis, a gay man and advocate for LGBTQ+ health, defended himself from a barrage of MAGA fury this week following his recent resignation from the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), who was once the center of online mockery for liking a hardcore porn video on Twitter, flew over to X to repost photos that showed Daskalakis scantily clad or wearing leather gear. Cruz asked his followers, “Would you trust this guy to make sensitive medical decisions for your family???”
Daskalakis responded to Cruz’s comments on X, writing, “I guess you can’t argue against the fact that public health is being destroyed… so instead you repost my instagram.”
