Susan Monarez’s abrupt end as CDC Director reflects the complex interplay between science and politics. Her departure, alongside several top officials, underscores how leadership changes occur when institutional priorities clash with political agendas. Specifically, Susan Monarez wasn’t “aligned” with Donald Trump’s agenda and refused to resign. She challenged the unqualified leadership of the Health and Human Services. According to her attorneys Mark Zaid and Abbe David, she did not support “unscientific, reckless directives.” She refused to fire dedicated health experts. Instead, she chose to protect the public rather than support a political agenda. Read about it here as reported on NPR written by The Associated Press:
