RFK Jr. Makes Up Batshit Reason for Why CDC Director Was Fired
The Secretary of Health and Social Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., gave an absolutely thorny answer to a fundamental question on the reasons why he dismissed Susan Monarez, head of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Did you tell the CDC chief that if she refused to sign your changes to the childhood vaccine calendar, she had to resign?” request The Senator of Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, cutting the RFK Jr. cries was doing a few moments before.
“No, I told her that she had to resign” because I asked her, “Are you a trustworthy person?” And she said “no”.
“”What?Warren replied. Next to his senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, laughed and smiled in disbelief.
“So, if you had an employee who told you that he was not trustworthy, would you ask them to resign, senator?”
Warren: “Did you say at the head of the CDC … that she had to resign?”
RFK: “No. She had to resign because I asked her” Are you a trustworthy person? “And she said” no. “

Thursday, Monarez published A song in The Wall Street Journal Accusing RFK Jr. of having dismissed her for refusing to pre-appeal the recommendations of his sorted-side consulting committee.
But even the White House admitted that it had been dismissed on a difference in opinion. Last week, the press secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt Tell to journalists that Monarez was dismissed because his opinions were “not aligned with [President Trump’s] Mission. “On the same day, the former CDC director and Confident of Monarez, Richard Besser, told the media that Monarez had been dismissed because she had refused to capitulate the Maha agenda in Kennedy.
“She said there were two things that she would never do in work,” said Besser said. “She said that she had been asked to do both, one in terms of dismissal of her management, who are talented officials like her, and the other was at a rubber stamp [vaccine] Recommendations that stole from science, and she was not going to do any of these things. »»
Now, RFK Jr. addressed the excuse until “ she told me that I should not trust her ”, framing the situation as if Monarez begged to be dismissed. It is clear that Monarez – who has a doctorate in microbiology and immunology – has not been enough to conduct Trump and Kennedy health care and vaccine systems.
