Fired CDC director says RFK 'weaponising public health' as more leaders quit agency

The article reports that the White House has fired Dr. Susan Monarez from her position as the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Monarez claims that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine advocate, has been "weaponizing public health" through his criticism of the CDC. The article notes that Monarez's dismissal comes as more leaders are leaving the CDC, which has faced criticism for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article does not provide further details on the specific reasons for Monarez's termination or the nature of Kennedy's criticisms of the agency. The article suggests that the CDC is facing a period of upheaval and uncertainty, with the departure of key leaders and ongoing public scrutiny of the agency's performance during the pandemic.
