What’s happening at the CDC? Director Susan Monarez ousted after clashes with HHS Secretary RFK Jr.

After less than a month at the helm, Monarez was asked to leave. Her lawyers say she ‘refused to rubber-stamp’ politically charged policies.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on Wednesday, August 27, that Susan Monarez has been removed from her position as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
