Susan Monarez, former director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, testified in his first public remarks since she was fired in front of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee on September 17. Some Republican members of the committee accused her that she had lied and she said she was not on the agenda of the administration.
As in the previous hearing on the performance as the Minister of Health and Welfare of Robert F. Kennedy, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA.) Focused on the chairman of the voting committee, which was decided as chairman of the help committee to confirm Kennedy earlier this year. Since the vote, Catidy repeatedly expressed skepticism about Kennedy’s leadership.
Catidy pointed out that when Kennedy sweared in Mores on July 31, she praised her “reckless scientific credentials.” In less than a month, she was fired. “What is it?” Catidy said. “The confusion at the top of the top public health agency in the United States is not good for the health of the American people.”
Monarez said she matched Kennedy’s goal to improve the health of the United States and could change the policy and structure of CDC. But she was not ready to compromise scientific judgment.
“I was able to keep the title, but I would have lost one thing I could not replace,” she said.
Monarez said in a August 25 meeting that Kennedy dismissed senior scientists and agreed to approve all the changes in the vaccine policy proposed by the new employee of the vaccination committee. In June, Kennedy dismissed the member and replaced it with a small group, including major opponents of the American vaccination program.
When Mores rejected both requests, Kennedy told her to resign. She refused and the White House fired her, she said.
Kennedy made a last long -term testimony this month and said Monarez lied. Republican Senators repeated the claim at the hearing on Wednesday. Oklahoma’s Markwayne Mullin said that the August 25 records contradict Monarez’s account. But at the hearing, Cassidy said that Mullin had withdrawn his statement, saying that there was no such record.
The hearing confirmed that Kennedy was trying to change the vaccine schedule as a child, and initially, the CDC was initially supported for more than 30 years for the hepatitis B vaccination immediately after birth.
that CDC is recommended The children are vaccinated for 16 pathogens with about 25 guns, sprays or oral vaccinations for the first two years. The vaccine protects children from diseases such as influenza, measles, hundred days cough, meningitis, diarrhea, chickenpox, cancer and pneumonia. It depends on the Lord to decide what vaccinations are needed for students.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-del.) Senator, as reported by KFF Health News, said that the universal vaccination of newborns for hepatitis B decreased by 99%. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) And Cassidy (R-LA.) Asked the first reported plan by ACIP.
Catidy seriously talked about the risk of ending the dose of hepatitis B in newborns at the end of the hearing. He noted that before 1991, 20,000 babies would be infected with hepatitis B, often leading to liver disease and sometimes death. Today, less than 20 babies contract with their mother’s virus a year, he said.
“This is the achievement of making the United States healthy again, and we must stand up and pay for those who have made a decision,” he said.
After the hearing, reporters replied, “No,” after hearing whether the US public should be trusted if he voted to delay the amount of hepatitis B for newborns.
