The Senate confirms Trump’s candidate to lead CDC

The Senate confirmed on Tuesday that Susan Monarerez led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as it has long put a government world at the head of an agency by the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

Monares, 50, is President Trump’s second choice for this position. It was confirmed to the party’s vote to a large extent, 51-47.

The Center for Disease Control had not had a leader since March, when Monares was as action as the Acting Director because she was nominated to be a director. She is the first candidate for the Director of the Disease Control Center requesting confirmation in the Senate.

Monarerez will take the head of an agency under the fire.

The Trump administration is looking to reduce its budget by about 2026, and hundreds of employees have been reduced. Meanwhile, doctors and public health experts accused Kennedy of undermining the agency’s credibility by changing the vaccine recommendations and launching all members of the vaccine consulting committee.

In the absence of the director, Kennedy launched all the members of the consulting committee represented by the 17 -year -old immunization practices (ACIP) and replaced them with his members who chose them. The director of the Disease Control Center must sign ACIP recommendations to become an official agency policy, but Kennedy took the same role without a director.

ACIP voted from Kennedy last month to remove the preservative thimrosal from influenza vaccines, despite many studies that have shown safe, if it is rarely used anymore. Kennedy signed the recommendation last week, but it has not yet signed the same meeting that recommends that a flu shot.

He also exceeded the traditional agency’s paths when he announced unilaterally that HHS will not recommend Covid-19 vaccines for healthy pregnant women and healthy children.

Unlike the other candidates for Trump’s health, Monares is not known as the controversial flame bomber. She worked in the federal government for nearly 20 years through multiple offices, but she did not work at the center of diseases control before Trump clicked her as the agency agency, shortly after the start of his second term.

Before her role in the Center for Disease Control, the Deputy Director of the Agency for Advanced Research Projects worked. Before entering government work, she was a fellow in the American Science and Technology Policy.

Trump Monarerez chose to lead the agency after his first choice, former Florida Dave Wildon (R) failed to obtain adequate support among Republicans in the Senate. Weldon has been widely examined to enhance an inappropriate link between vaccines and autism.

During her confirmation session, Monares told the Democrats that “vaccines save lives” and said that there is no vaccine evidence that causes autism.

But she walked on a high line and was keen not to directly contradict her president, despite her urges by Democratic Senate members. Through the Senate Health Committee, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), it has applied for a party’s vote.

“In my opinion, we need the director of the Center for Disease Control that will defend science, protect public health, and get rid of the theories of serious conspiracy of Minister Kennedy about the safe and effective vaccines that have saved over the years.”

“Unfortunately, after reviewing her record, I don’t think Dr. Monares sees this person,” Sanders said.

To support the nomination of Monarerez, the head of the auxiliary committee, Bill Casidi (R-La), said that the country “needs the director of the Center for Disease Control that makes rooted decisions in science, a leader who repairs the agency and works to restore public confidence in health institutions.”
