The White House confirmed on Wednesday, August 27, the dismissal of the director of the main health agency in the United States, the last turn in a confrontation between this scientist and the vaccinopic health minister for Donald Trump.
The drama in three acts that stirred the American press began with this Wednesday’s announcement of this departure by the Ministry of Health. But Susan Monarch, in office for less than a month to the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), denied quickly and accused the minister of trying to rule out a policy “endangering the lives of millions of Americans.”
“Susan Monarez does not agree with the president’s program,” said Kush Desai, spokesman for the White House, in a statement sent to AFP. “Susan Monarez refused to resign despite having informed the Ministry of Health of his intention to do so, the White House sent Susan Monarez from his position.”
“Insert public health for political purposes”
The manager “did not give up or receive the notification of the White House that indicates that he was fired,” said his lawyers previously in a statement sent to the AFP.
“As an honest person and dedicated to science, they will not give up,” they added, accusing Health Minister Robert Kennedy Jr., challenged for his anti -vaccinas positions, “instrumentalize public health for political purposes.”
Even so, according to them, the minister would have tried to rule out Susan Monarez after she “refused to validate non -scientific and dangerous directives and to fire experts.”
A few hours earlier, the Ministry of Health had announced that Susan Monarch “was no longer director” of CDC in a brief message about X. “We thank her for her service dedicated to the US people,” he added.
The news, reported at the beginning by the Washington Post, occurs in full review of the American vaccination policy, about the impetus of RFK JR.
“That is too much,” reacted a senior CDC official, Demeter Daskalakis, in X. In a long message, the latter announced to renounce, denouncing the pressures of the new US administration to “generate policies and documents that do not reflect scientific reality.”
According to US media, other senior agency officials have done the same.
A CLOSE OF VACCUNATION POLICY
Since his entry to office, Robert Kennedy Jr. has begun a deep review of US health agencies and the country’s vaccination policy, dismissing renowned experts, restricting access to vaccines against COVVI-19 or cutting funds for the development of new vaccines.
Often taken against scientific consensus and punished by external experts.
Susan Monarez was confirmed at the end of July by the US Senate to the head of the CDC, one of the health agencies that supervises the Ministry of Health. His appointment was actually a second option, the White House had to resign in March his first candidate, David Weldon, a former elected and doctor known for his vaccinptic positions, for fear that he does not lose the necessary voices for Congress.
The precipitous exit of Susan Monarez occurs in the middle of the CDC, the agency was the objective in early August of an armed attack of a man strongly opposite to the COVVI-19 vaccine.
Hundreds of employees and former employees of health agencies had signed an open letter in the process that accused RFK Jr. of endangering them to propagate false information, especially in vaccines.
