New C.D.C. Director Resists Ouster as Other Officials Resign

zymurgy said:
her argument for why she can't be fired was entirely political dipshit - and her initial approval for this role was completely partsian as well.

funny how now the democrats care for her

You’d best read her resume before making such an ignorant statement about her qualifications. As for her firing, her claim was that only Trump could fire her, not HHS Secretary, because she was a Senate confirmed appointment.

Then the cascade of other resignations followed. Want to read what some of them had to say about Kennedy and the administration?

Biden can auto pen his entire presidency away but Trump has to personally escort her out the door

Trump already named who he wants to replace her with. "it's all over now baby blue"

Meanwhile, top scientists are leaving and those remaining are constantly looking over their shoulders. And a kook anti-vaxxer is still in charge.

Great fucking atmosphere to work in. Other agencies of scientists are, no doubt, feeling the same way. EPA, NOAA.

They were:

Debra Houry (Chief Medical Officer)
Demetre Daskalakis (National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases)
Daniel Jernigan(National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases)
Jennifer Layden(Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology)

Call them what you want, Jethro. They were top, career scientists in their fields. Unlike your cult, no bullshit propaganda at all.

Want me to provide some resignation letter quotes on their opinion of the kook at the head of HHS and his boss?

Dr. Marty Makary Rips the Outgoing CDC Leadership Protesting RFK Jr“They've lost their mission. They propagate dogma. They pushed cloth masks on toddlers for three years. They insisted schools shut out children for nearly two years using a phony pseudoscience document that the teachers union edited … They made up six feet. They pushed vaccine boosters in young, healthy people. So the CDC needs a realignment and it needs an extremely strong leader.”

Only a short version of the crimes/incompetence of the CDC.

Makary has a good background, but he was way off, over the top and completely wrong on some COVID claims. Not the end-all expert you want him to be.

The democrats didn’t fire her you fucking idiot, Trump did.

In her confirmation, the dems didn’t feel she separated herself enough from that fucking kook, Kennedy. Looks like they were wrong. She did separate herself, so they fired her.

Cultist

Yep, they thought she was too snuggly with the fucking nut case, Kennedy. When she wasn’t, she was gone. Anyway, the kook is still in charge, minus a few of his top people.

And she was the first to go through Senate confirmation because the law went into effect in 2023, idiot.

Probably not best to point to “law fare”, whatever the fuck that is. Trump is in prison without “law fare”.

yawn

she is gone. her excuse for why she can't be fired was comical

Her lawyers contended that since she was a presidential appointee and Senate confirmed that only Trump could fire her, not HHS head. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Except to a cultist.

Are you really going to fixate on that instead of noticing that top people are resigning?

Want to see part of the letter on your well-run agency?

“am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”

I’ll continue if you wish to discuss that.

I'd first like to say why I liked your post- you managed it. I'd begun to think that posting without insults in this thread was beyond you for the forseeable future. I'm glad that I was mistaken.

Alright, as to your quote from Dr. Demetre, former Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, I'm glad he was civil in his resignation letter. Getting back to the subject of this thread, the new (now former) C.D.C. Director's firing, Children's Health Defense wrote a good article on the subject here:

Trump Fires CDC Director Who Clashed With RFK Jr. Over Vaccine Policy

The White House confirmed the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez late Wednesday after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to force her resignation and she refused to leave, The New York Times reported. Kennedy defended the move, saying it “may be that some people should not be working there.”

August 28, 2025

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said today on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” reported by The Hill, that he is “not surprised” by the upheaval at the CDC following yesterday’s firing of the agency’s director.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “is in trouble, and we need to fix it — and we are fixing it — and it may be that some people should not be working there anymore,” Kennedy said.

The White House confirmed late Wednesday that CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired after Kennedy tried to force her resignation and she refused to leave, The New York Times reported.

Four other CDC officials then resigned, citing their frustration with Kennedy’s leadership.

Monarez, confirmed by the U.S. Senate less than a month ago, reportedly clashed with Kennedy over changes in vaccine policy, according to The Washington Post, which first broke the story.

The agency needs “strong leadership” that will “be able to execute on President Trump’s broad ambitions,” Kennedy told Fox News.

Kennedy also said the CDC has placed too great an emphasis on water fluoridation, vaccines and abortion.

In an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” this morning, Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said the Monarez conflict marked a “threshold moment,” especially given the pharma-backed mainstream response to recent moves at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that demonstrate the battle over vaccine policy is heating up.

In a statement, Holland also said:

“What is clear from the past 24 hours is that there was a lack of alignment between the CDC director and the administration. From what we know, director Monarez did not want to implement the president’s and secretary’s agenda, and, as expected when a political appointee does not follow the administration they serve, she was dismissed. Her termination, along with the resignations of the others, is a liberation for the CDC.

“The agency’s mission is to serve the public, but for the last two decades, it has served the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of public health. We are hopeful that the new leadership chosen by Secretary Kennedy and the president will return the agency to its original mission and restore the public’s trust.”

Our last lines of defense are being sold out.

Did you know that in many states you can no longer get the Covid vaccine, and there is some question about whether most of us will be able to get it anymore? Kennedy is trying to ban it.

Yep, in many ways, trumpism has left us vulnerable - not only to health crises, but to a terrorist attack. Gabbard has banished anyone with a clue.
