Someone is an actual medical professional who is not rubber stamping captain brainworm’s plan to ban vaccines… You’re outta here.

Her lawyer says she has to resign or be fired directly by Trump, so right now she's apparently still on the job.

Good for her if she tried to be a sane manager from the inside. She prob knew & was prepared for what would eventually happen to her. We need more like her - she slowed down the tRump admin’s anti-science descent into hell.

NOT a scoop. She is refusing to resign, although 4 others did. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

She was also nice to the CDC employees after they got shot-at. RFK visited the building while emps couldnt, spent a little bit of time with a dead officer's widow, spent more time taking a photo-op next to a window with bulletholes in it, and sent an email that could've been written by ChatGPT.

Ouster comes after days of fights with RFK Jr and other officials One flashpoint: whether Monarez would support covid vax policy changes Monarez tried to enlist Bill Cassidy to defend her, further angering RFK Jr More updates with @lenasun.bsky.social here

An action everyone can take to stand with CDC, its prevention work, and science is to sign our letter at www.saveHHS.org. We need everyone to take an action today and NOW! Follow us for more updates @firedbutfighting.bsky.social a group of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies.

HHS "confirmed"? Are you sure the source is reliable? Mark Zaid says otherwise In general does anyone in the executive branch deserve a presumption of regularity?

Glad @washingtonpost.com has revised the story "HHS said" yes "HHS confirmed"--prob not ever a sure thing Revised headline is not at all an exclusive

After news of Monarez's ouster, multiple top CDC officials announced their resignations, per emails obtained by The Post “I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health,” said @drdemetre.bsky.social Today = no precedent at CDC

Is there a functioning large well funded democratic country such as Canada, GB, France, Germany, Japan, S.Korea or if need be somewhere not exactly democratic such as China where a parallel CDC can be established and be home to this important group of scientists?

From CNN: In a news release the day of her swearing-in, Kennedy said that Monarez had “unimpeachable scientific credentials”..... And that's why she was ousted. Unimpeachable scientific credentials are toxic to the 2025 CDC.
