Ex-surgeon general: 'People still are afraid to touch anything that is associated with Trump'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams says he is still feeling the impact of the “Trump hangover,” nearly two years out from his stint in the Trump administration.

“People still are afraid to touch anything that is associated with Trump,” Adams told The Washington Post in an interview published Friday.

Adams, who served as surgeon general for nearly all of former President Trump’s term, said he had a difficult time finding a position in academia or the corporate world after he left the administration.

“It was a lot harder than he thought to find a landing spot because of the Trump Effect,” his wife, Lacey Adams, told the Post.

1. Not "afraid", jerome. sick and disgusted. As for you, boo friggen hoo. You CHOSE,

eyes wide open, to associate with that F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**

[dweller]

2. ETTD

3. Specifically, he was the Surgeon General during the Covid Pandemic

when millions were dying and millions more were isolated in hospitals, wondering if they were going to die.

8. and he was the surgeon general

when Trump dismantled Obama's epidemic protocols..when Trump ignored and then downplayed the pandemic, when Trump shoved aside career scientists/epidemiologists in favor of quacks/hacks/shamans..when Trump's enablers modified CDC covid guidelines/statistics..when Trump suggested ingesting bleach as a covid cure-all..when Trump disappeared 300,000 covid deaths...when Trump publicly trashed Dr. Fauci exposing him and his family to threats of violence...

So Mr. (former) Surgeon General, you can't get a permanent gig because of the Trump stink...good!!

4. Well, association with #Traitor and the FACT you sucked at your job

5. It's not solely the association w/ TFG. He REPEATEDLY demonstrated incompetence in his field

and a dangerous degree of decision-making driven by political and religious ideology rather than evidence. That ought to be disqualifying.

Appointed by Pence as Indiana state health commissioner in 2014, he mismanaged an HIV outbreak among IV drug users. From Wikipedia: "During an HIV epidemic in 2015, Adams initially opposed needle-exchange programs on "moral" grounds, but he later changed his position as cases continued to mount."

Then as Surgeon General he erred badly in his initial response to COVID-19, again in line with political/ideological considerations. Again from Wikipedia: "Adams initially downplayed the risk from COVID-19 by comparing it to the flu, which was criticized by experts."

He can take his complaints about being tainted by association or intolerant liberals or whatever and shove them up his ass.

6. just the fact you agreed to work for Donald Fucking Trump taints your reputation

i mean, it calls into question what other bad decisions you make

[niyad]

7. As a matter of curiosity, how many cases of Zika and Ebola were there in IN

from 2014-2017, since he "led the fight"?

And, let's see, he teaches at Purdue, has just been appointed Poling Chair at Kelley Schools. . . .does not seem to be unemployed.

Can somebody link me to his statements against bleach and hydroxychloroquine? I cannit seem to find any.

9. Being hired by Purdue isn't exactly...

…like shoveling fries at McDonald’s.

11. Note to ADAMS, that's the insight that you were hired for!
