DR. FISCUS: “(@GovBillLee) has been toxic to work under… morale is poor… state workers fear for their jobs – they want to do the right thing but the administration is more interested in politics…” pic.twitter.com/WxgHyc4zCO

CNN: “Have you been told why you were fired?”

DR. FISCUS: “I was not… I was given a choice to resign and I chose to be terminated because I’ve not done anything wrong except inform physicians what they guidelines were around vaccinating minors.” @GovBillLee ? ? ?‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/YMoTcNn8ng

CNN: “Are you being villainized for following science?”

DR. FISCUS: “Many of our lawmakers unfortunately buy into anti-vaccine rhetoric and conspiracy theories instead of listening to actual science.” @GovBillLee just fired her for doing her job, then ran from reporters. ? pic.twitter.com/cLeNvtnDBi
