CDC erupts in chaos after ousted chief Susan Monarez refuses to resign -The Guardian
The US’s top public health agency was plunged into chaos on Wednesday after the Trump administration moved to oust its leader Susan Monarez, sworn in less than a month ago, as her lawyers said she would not resign and that she was being “targeted” for her pro-science stance.
Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was ousted on Wednesday evening, according to a statement from Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that offered no explanation its decision.
Pro-science in the CDC?
Unforgivable.
- Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry
- Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD)
- Daniel Jernigan, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
- Jennifer Layden, director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology
It seems they have also resigned in protest.
Usually, when a scientific head resigns, they would be polishing their resumes. [From experience]
Under the current Regime, it would appear that they are irreplaceable.
Public health experts, meanwhile, are sounding the alarm about the chaos.
“What’s happening at the CDC should frighten every American Regardless of whether you are MAGA, MAHA, neither, or don’t give a damn about labels or politics. It’s unclear whether the CDC director—confirmed just weeks ago—has been fired or not. Absolute shitshow,” Dr Craig Spencer, an emergency medicine doctor and professor at Brown University School of Public Health, posted. “And incredible career professionals resigned tonight, sounding a massive alarm,” he added. “This is pure chaos that leaves the country unprepared.”
The dumbing down of Americans is in full swing.
We once led the world, but we are becoming third-rate.
Everyone is endangered.
