The CDC is experiencing significant upheaval following the dismissal of its director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by the Trump administration after a contentious clash over vaccine policies involving RFK Jr. This dismissal has triggered a wave of resignations from other high-ranking officials within the agency, citing concerns over political interference in public health matters. Amidst the chaos, GOP senators are calling for oversight and accountability while the White House has promised a swift announcement of a new director. The ongoing situation has raised alarms about the potential risks to vaccine science and public health, with some officials explicitly accusing RFK Jr. of undermining trust in health institutions.
