RFK Jr. and Trump ‘Eugenics’: Trying to Kill ‘Weak’ Americans Naturally?

28 August 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

On August 27th, “Inside Medicine” headlined “Breaking News: Read three top CDC officials’ resignation emails. The end of an era.” and reported:

Moments ago, Inside Medicine broke news that three top career CDC officials have resigned from the agency, hours after the Washington Post reported that newly-confirmed Director Dr. Susan Monarez has been ousted, having run afoul of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Here are the emails that each of the officials sent to their CDC colleagues by Dr. Deb Houry, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, and Dr. Daniel Jernigan.

Dr. Deb Houry, Deputy Director for Program and Science/Chief Medical Officer: …

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (two emails, one to colleagues, and a longer formal resignation): ……

Dr. Daniel Jernigan, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases: …

Analysis: The end of an era

The news of these resignations set off a firestorm in public health circles. This is not normal. There had been speculation that this particular trio of leaders would resign depending on how the September meeting of Secretary Kennedy’s newly-installed CDC Advisory Commitee on Immunization Practices went. There has been mounting fear that Secretary Kennedy will attempt to link vaccines to autism in a forthcoming HHS report, and that ACIP will be expected to remove many of its recommendations, some decades old, that have protected American children from death and severe illness from preventable diseases. But news of Monarez’s ouster meant that the writing was on the wall, moving these resignations up by weeks.

Frankly, the very future of the CDC is unknown. Thousands of good scientists and other agency officials remain. But without these key leaders—non-partisan career officials widely respected both internally and beyond—the agency is genuinely at risk of losing its ability to carry out its core mission. That’s not because any three people, (regardless of how experienced or respected they may be) are irreplaceable, but, rather, for what their departures portend. Other leaders and career scientists may also soon exit or be forced out. At some point, core mission activities that keep us safe will be at risk of being unfulfilled.

When these losses will translate to decreased safety to Americans that is noticeable is an open question. But, we’re about to find out.

The resignation by Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, mentioned “Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated” presumably meaning generated by the Trump Administration, but none of the three resignations was so coherent or so bold as to make clear any such accusation (each of them veiled whatever it really meant — other than that ‘I am on the good side here’); each was incoherent other than to allege that RFK Jr. and Trump, as Daskalakis said,  are “derivative of a legacy that good medicine and science should continue to shun.” However, Daskalakis’s “Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated” at least SUGGESTS that what is being done here has as its purpose to kill-off ‘weak’ Americans by natural instead of directly GOVERNMENT-backed, means — to INCREASE the deaths by individuals who have weak immune systems, etc. To “cull the herd.”

There have been many commentators who have alleged that Trump is deeply racist, but anyone who makes such a sloppy allegation as that “Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated” has an obligation to clarify what it is supposed to be understood to be alleging. Cowardice in such a situation is, itself, a disqualifying attribute. What is needed instead, is DOCUMENTATION by that person, to back up whatever it is that the person is alleging.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
