CDC Director Fights Ouster Less Than A Month After Being Sworn In: 'She Will Not Resign'
HuffPost
Meanwhile, multiple other leaders at the CDC submitted their resignations on Wednesday.
The Trump administration is attempting to push out its newly appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Susan Monarez, who is defying the move even as a wave of high-level departures has commenced.
“Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people,” the Department of Health and Human Services said in a post on X on Wednesday, less than a month after Monarez was sworn in on July 31.
“@SecKennedy has full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad,” the statement continued.
In a statement Wednesday evening, Monarez’s lawyers said she had not resigned or been told she was fired.
“When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda. For that, she has been targeted,” the attorneys wrote.
