Sen. Bernie Sanders calls on RFK Jr. to resign following departure of CDC officials

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., demanded RFK Jr.'s resignation after the removal of CDC Director Susan Monarez over disputes on vaccine policies and limitations.

Four other senior CDC officials resigned in protest after Monarez's ouster, pointing, in part, to anti-vaccine policies pushed by Kennedy. Hundreds of workers at the agency also walked out of the CDC's headquarters in Atlanta in support of their former colleagues.

In response to the departures, Sanders wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times that Kennedy is "endangering the health of the American people now and into the future" and accused the secretary of firing Monarez because she refused "to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous policies."
