Ousted CDC director to testify before Senate after RFK Jr. called her a liar

The former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, has been called to testify before the Senate after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused her of being a liar. Walensky was reportedly ousted from her position due to her refusal to pre-approve vaccine recommendations from a panel that was considered dubious. The article suggests that Walensky's dismissal was related to her stance on vaccine recommendations, which she felt needed to be thoroughly vetted before being approved. This conflict has now led to her being summoned to the Senate to provide her account of the events surrounding her departure from the CDC. The article highlights the ongoing tensions and controversies surrounding public health policies and decision-making processes, particularly when it comes to sensitive issues like vaccine recommendations. The testimony before the Senate is expected to shed more light on the circumstances leading to Walensky's ouster and the broader debate surrounding the CDC's role and decision-making practices.
