The best public public health agency was left for abandonment and without a leader, because the White House works to expel its manuscript director from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and three senior officials were cut from the headquarters on Thursday.

The overflow was launched by a rare double -sided alarm as a health minister of US President Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., tries to improve policies against vaccines that are contrary to decades of scientific research.

Chaos comes weeks before the key advisory committee, which Kennedy has transformed with vaccine skeptics, is expected to meet to issue new recommendations on immunization.

Two Republican senators called for congress control, and some Democrats said Kennedy should be fired. Plans to testify on the Capitol hill September 4.

No explanation

Kennedy did not explain Decision on ejection Susan Monarez as a CDC director less than a month after she swore, but warned that she could get more traffic.

“There are a lot of problems on the CDC in the long run to solve some people in the long run, in order to change the institutional culture,” Kennedy said at a press conference in Texas.

The White House only said that Monuare “was not aligned with” Trump’s day. There is no talk of when the replacement could be appointed.

Monarez’s lawyers said she refused “on a rubber, unannounced, reckless directive and a fire dedicated to health professionals.” She fights her dismissal, saying that the decision must come directly from Trump, who nominated her in March.

The Saga began on Wednesday night with the announcement of the administration that Monuare would no longer run a CDC. In response, three officials – Dr. Debra Houry, Dr. Demetra Daskalakis and Dr. Daniel Jernigan – have resigned for high roles in the agency.

Monarez struggled with political interference

On Thursday, officials returned to the office to collect their belongings, and the members of the staff at the relaxed agency planned to gather in the afternoon to applaud them while leaving the Atlanta campus. But their removal of security staff earlier in the morning, these plans extinguished, according to current and former employees.

Houry and Daskalakis said Associated Press that Monarez tried to protect from political mixing in scientific research and health recommendations.

“We intended to see if she was able to solve the storm. And when she wasn’t, we finished,” Houry said. She was the Deputy Director of the Agency and the Chief Medical Director.

The board resigned as head of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and Jernigan from the National Center for the resulting and zoonotic infectious diseases

If removed, Monarez will be a director with the shortest service since the CDC was founded in 1946, worsening the vacuum of leadership that has persisted since Trump has taken over his duty. Initially, he chose David Weldon, a former Congressman in Florida, who is a skeptic doctor and vaccine, but he broke through the nomination in March.

Monuare, a longtime Government scientist, was eavesdropped by a US agency in the amount of $ 9.2 billion, while she was a temporary director. But questions immediately appeared in Kennedy’s circle about her loyalty to the “Make America again healthy”, especially given the previous support of the Coid-19 vaccine that Kennedy Rutinically criticized.

Requests for new supervision

Kennedy rarely mentioned Monarez by the name in the way he worked other heads of the Health Agency, such as Mehmet Oz from the Medicare and Medicaid Services Center or Marty Makary from the US Food and Medication Administration.

Flashpoint is Kennedy’s handling of the CDC advisable vaccine committee, which he tried to reshape since he took over the US Ministry of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The Council is expected to meet next month, and Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana said that any recommendations published will “miss legitimacy” then.

“Serious accusations of the agenda, membership and lack of scientific process have been presented,” said Cassidy, who runs the Senate Committee that oversees Kennedy’s department. He added that “these decisions directly affect the health of the children and the meeting should not happen until significant supervision is carried out.”

Cassidy, a doctor, provided key support for Kennedy’s nomination after saying that Kennedy assured him that he would not demolish the national childhood vaccination program.

The Counseling Committee on Immunization Practice is a group of external experts who make recommendations to the CDC director how to use vaccines. Recommendations are then accepted by doctors, school systems, health insurers and others.

Kennedy is a longtime leader on the vaccine movement, in June abruptly rejected the entire panelaccusing members of being too closely aligned with manufacturers. He replaced them with a group that included several vaccine skeptics and then closed the door to several doctors organizations who had long helped to form a vaccine recommendation.

Houry and Daskalakis said Monarez tried to provide scientific protective measures.

For example, she tried to replace a clerk who coordinated panel meetings with someone who had more experience in politics. Monarez also pushed that the reviews of the diamonds and evidence were published several weeks before the Committee meeting and the open public comment session, Houry said.

HHS officials put him in and invited him to Monarez to a meeting in Washington on Monday, Houry said.

Daskalakis described the situation as unsustainable.

“Personally, I came to a point where I think our science will be threatened and that is my line in the sand,” he said.
