CDC Director Susan Monarez Ousted In Vaccine Policy Clash With RFK Jr.; Four Top Officials Quit In Leadership Crisis
Thursday, Aug 28, 2025 - 06:05 AM
Department of Health & Human Services announced on X late Wednesday that Susan Monarez, the first Senate-confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is "no longer director of the CDC."
Monarez appears to have been ousted after a month on the job, which sparked the resignation of four other senior CDC officials.
According to a New York Times report, Monarez "clashed with the secretary over vaccine policy," which ultimately led to her firing.
Hours after HHS' X post, attorneys Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell wrote on the social media platform that Monarez "has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign."
