US EditionWhite House fires CDC director Monarez after she refuses to resign; 4 top health officials quit
Susan Monarez's ousting follows conflicts over vaccine policy changes by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., triggering resignations of six senior CDC officials amid agency turmoil.
- The White House said Wednesday that Susan Monarez, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is no longer director after less than one month in office.
- Sworn in on July 31, Susan Monarez, CDC Director, became the agency's shortest-serving leader after reported clashes with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Health Secretary, over COVID-19 vaccine approvals.
- At least three senior CDC officials resigned shortly after Monarez's removal, including Dr. Demetre Daskalakis who wrote 'Enough is enough' in his resignation letter.
- Monarez's attorneys said Wednesday that she "has neither resigned nor received notification" of firing and will not resign, while Health and Human Services posted on X that she was "no longer" CDC director and thanked her service.
- The move returns the agency to a leaderless state as HHS removes Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices members and cancels $500 million in mRNA vaccine projects this month.
