U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy reportedly ordered a confidant to head the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Previously, Susan Monarez, who had just been appointed head of the department a few weeks ago, had been dismissed after a conflict with Kennedy. Kennedy's deputy Jim O'Neill had been appointed interim head of the White House, the Washington Post reported, citing people familiar with the decision.
