Does citizenship matter? Do you need to be an American? Just curious....

I already asked. Canadians can vote.

I meant for Jessica to get the position.....

why not? israeli dual citizens are in government...

I am asking a question.... is this allowed? I am saying that I thought you had to have American citizenship....

I don't think Dr Paul Alexander had US citizenship when he was asked by Trump to work on the pandemic response. He is native Canadian.

Not sure if he has citizenship or not... but a simple question should be allowed to be asked.... one would think that citizenship would be a requirement to work for that gov't.... not saying they have to be born there but to have acquired citizenship ....

This is not a official anything I don't believe. Cast away. I understand your frustration at asking a question and not getting a simple yes or no..❤️❤️

I guess Jessica would not be asking for votes if she believed her nationality would stop her getting a post. I am sure she will have checked the eligibility criteria - she is usually very, very thorough.

I hear that government employees don’t need to be U.S. citizens.

There are exceptions. Check out the CDC website. 😉

Oh, wow.... I will check later... what kinds of exceptions....

Done! I took the time to scroll through the names and vote for all our heroes. I won't duplicate my comment below. How exciting!

Yup, the CDC certainly could use a brilliant and relentless resercher/writer like yourself, Jessica, but are you not "unacceptable" ?

😉

You are literally the perfect candidate to head the CDC! What an astounding turn around that would lead too :). Done!

I see your name, but not how to vote. Advice?

Expand full comment

i didn't try. lemme see if i can figure it out :)

Thank you! I figured it out. Here's another link to the list of Health nominees: https://discourse.nomineesforthepeople.com/c/health/7

Lots of duplicate names! I hope they do a good job of combining votes. I voted for all our heroes. :) What a great thought to imagine all of these fantastic medical fighters, many of whom have been so maligned and harmed, in our government, making policy and protecting our health!

I posted how to vote, see below.

I see no red button on any page for voting.

Expand full comment

You need to register with the platform before you can vote. That's how it worked for me :)

Expand full comment

It's a BLUE button, it says SUBMIT FORM.

(The RED button, upper right is to DONATE.)

Expand full comment

Sign up for an account on the site (takes 30 seconds). Then find Jessica Rose, and click on the blue box at the top left that says VOTE. The number of votes will change, and the blue box will say VOTED.

In addition to yourself to lead the CDC I nominate RFK, Jr. for the Secretary of HHS, Dr. Joseph Lapado for Surgeon General, Dr, Joseph Mercola as Lapado's second and Elon Musk as an economic policy leader. Our self sustaining, insatiable beast called Government badly needs a very strict diet.

Similar to my calls.

This mnemonic for Ladapo helps me:

He's a lad (male)

I vote for the Unacceptable Joan of Arc! She's a Bad Rad Momma who can carve up a 10 footer with grace and power too!

In the darkest days, Jessica, you were a bright light shining to which I was drawn. You filled me with hope and truth and gave me something to hang on to during the horrid plandemic and the CDC could use your brilliance and common sense. Actually, they do not deserve someone of your caliber as they currently are organized but I hope this changes with the change in the administration.

Expand full comment

i am so happy to heat this :)

Expand full comment

I just put a glowing comment on your Nominee page. You so deserve it Ms. Lion of Truth. You are right on. The CDC could use someone like you--in my opinion. I'm so glad you are speaking up for yourself. I am sad when someone relies on the Nomination of others when they know full-well that they are just right for the job. You know this and you are not afraid to put yourself forward. Go Jessica! Go to Washington!

thank you!

citizen journalists and researchers are quickly becoming the true 'experts' ;)

Expand full comment

They’ll have to rename the cdc if you join because it will become unrecognizable & I would hate to have your good reputation tarnished. Also I’ve read reforming completely bad institutions is never adequate enough to root out the rot - better to start a new organization with a concise statement of purpose…..anyone at the current cdc is welcome to re-apply!

Expand full comment

"unrecognizable" Izzatta pun?

Expand full comment

I am thrilled to be able to support you in this!

Done!

Expand full comment

Would vote for you tomorrow Jess , but as an Australian , all I can do is restack.....love your work and wish you well....!🙏

Expand full comment

this is just a vote for support. you can live anywhere :)

I think the CDC should cease to exist. We don't need a centre to control diseases. We need to stop poisoning everything with poisonous chemicals.

Will you be the head of the STOP CHEMICAL COMPANIES FROM POISONING US CENTRE the SCCFPUC?

Seriously though you would rock and I will vote as a fellow Canadian.
