Senior CDC officials resign after driving the director
Susan Monare According to the official post of the Ministry of Health and Human Services X, it is no longer the director of the Disease Control and Prevention Centers. He has been in this position for only a month. Following his appearance, several other CDC leaders have resigned.
In January, he was named CDC manager as the CDC manager, officially held July 29 by the Senate and swore two days later. During his short period of time, the CDC’s main campus in Atlanta was attacked by a gunman who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for becoming ill and depressed. A local police officer, David Rose, was killed when the suspect was shot.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, Mark Zaid and Monors’ lawyers Mark Zayd and Abbas David Lowell claimed that he was “target” for refusing to refuse “unscientific guidelines”. The statement said more that Monarsez did not resign and does not intend to claim that he did not receive a warning that he was fired.
According to the emails obtained by Wired, at least three other CDC senior officials resigned Wednesday evening: Demeetre Daskalakis, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Debra Houry, Senior Medical Manager and Vice President of Program and Science; And Daniel Jernegan, Director of the National Center for emerging infectious and zonotic infectious diseases.
The CDC, with the knowledge of the departments, says that the resignation will soon become more resigned.
“I am worried that political appointments will not decide on science, but instead focus on supporting the government’s agenda,” said one CDC employee, who said because of concerns about punishment. “I am concerned that next managers do not support and protect employees.”
President Donald Trump’s original election for CDC leadership was David Waldon, a former Republican physician and congress from Florida, who had a history of vaccine safety statements. But hours before the Senate confirmation session in March, the White House withdrew the Weldon nomination. The government then introduced Murra.
CDC leadership exit among recent developments on vaccine policy by HHS Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who in May removed the COVID-19 vaccine from the recommended CDC vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women. The following month, he fired 17 members of the CDC Advisory Committee on vaccination methods, a group of independent experts who offer science -based recommendations on vaccines.
In his place, he installed eight new members, including several critics of the long -standing vaccine. “A clean vacuum cleaner is essential to restore public self -esteem in the science of vaccine,” Kennedy said in a statement.
Earlier this month, under Kennedy’s leadership, HHS canceled half a billion dollars for investigations into MRNA vaccines. This month, HHS also announced a federal counseling committee created by Congress in 1986 to improve child safety and supervision in the United States, with the return of the task force on safer childhood vaccines. The panel was dissolved in 1998 when it issued its final report. Public health experts are concerned that the board is an action to weaken the vaccine science.
