Susan Monarez out as CDC director, other officials resign | LiveNOW from FOX
The newly appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is out after less than a month on the job.The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the change on its X account:
"Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people.
@SecKennedy has full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad."
HHS officials did not explain why Monarez is no longer with the agency.
Before the announcement was made, Monarez told The Associated Press, "I can't comment."
On Wednesday evening, Monarez's lawyers Mark Zaid and Abbe David Lowell issued a statement to the Associated Press that said she had neither resigned nor been told she was fired.
"When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda. For that, she has been targeted," the attorneys wrote.
"This is not about one official. It is about the systematic dismantling of public health institutions, the silencing of experts, and the dangerous politicization of science. The attack on Dr. Monarez is a warning to every American: our evidence-based systems are being undermined from within," they said.
According to the AP, her departure coincided with the resignations this week of at least four top CDC officials. The list includes Dr. Debra Houry, the agency’s deputy director; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, head of the agency’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, head of its National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; and Dr. Jennifer Layden, director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology.
