CDC director Susan Monarez ousted for refusing ‘to rubber-stamp unscientific’ orders, say lawyers
The article reports that the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Susan Monarez, was ousted by the Trump administration after less than a month in the role. Monarez's lawyers claim she was "targeted" for refusing to "rubber-stamp unscientific orders." Shortly after the announcement of Monarez's departure, three senior CDC officials resigned. The article suggests that the CDC was plunged into chaos due to the administration's decision to remove Monarez, who was appointed less than a month ago. The Department of Health and Human Services provided no explanation for the decision to oust Monarez.
