The top vaccine official for the state of Tennessee said Monday she was fired after an argument over vaccinating children against coronavirus.
Now Dr. Michelle Fiscus, a pediatrician who has served as the state’s medical director of the vaccine-preventable diseases and immunization for two years, said she is afraid for the people of her state – which is already lagging in vaccination against the virus.
“It is just astounding to me how absolutely political and self-centered our elected people are here and how very little they care for the people of Tennessee,” Fiscus told CNN in a telephone interview.
“The people of Tennessee are going to pay a price.”
