The U.S. director of the Center for Disease Control Prevention Susan Monarez has been sacked just weeks into her new role - her lawyers are accusing the Health Secretary Robert Kennedy of dismissing health experts and targeting her for refusing to support "unscientific directives".⁣
⁣
Four other senior CDC officials resigned over vaccine policy, misinformation, and public health weaponization.⁣
⁣
⁣
One of the officials who quit said the recent changes by Kennedy to the CDC's vaccination recommendations were putting young Americans and pregnant women at risk.⁣
⁣
White House spokesman Kush Desai late on Wednesday said the Director was not "aligned with the President's agenda of Making America Healthy Again".⁣
⁣
Monarez's attorneys, Mark S. Zaid and Abbe David Lowell, denied she had resigned or had been fired, adding in a statement that "as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign.”⁣
⁣
Monarez, a federal government scientist, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on July 29 after Trump nominated her earlier in the year and was sworn in on July 31.⁣
