Trump contradicted the CDC director on masks and vaccines. He isn't considering resigning

A TRUE PROFILE IN COWARDICE

Despite President Trump appearing to undermine him on the issues of masks and vaccine timing, Dr. Robert Redfield has given no indications that he might resign — or has even considered resigning — as the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a federal health official close to the situation tells CNN.

“He’s marching on,” the official said, adding Redfield has “been in this position before where he said something the President didn’t like.”

The official said Redfield is "taking it in stride" and focused on the work at hand, a day after Trump's comments at the briefing.

What this is all about: Redfield said in a Senate hearing yesterday that the American public could expect to start seeing results from widespread coronavirus vaccination in the second or third quarter of 2021. Even if a vaccine for Covid-19 was released today, it would take six to nine months for enough people to receive it to create immunity, he said.

1. Well thank god

Trump would appoint Dr. Oz or somebody of that ilk to replace him. Hang in there, Dr. Redfield. Your country needs you.

2. Oh god yes

He would look around and pick the least qualified person, someone who wouldn't contradict him. The possibilities are terrifying.

3. Hell, he'll probably try to appoint Meredith Grey from "Grey's Anatomy"
