Highlights
  • The upheaval at the CDC signals an extraordinary rupture between its scientific leadership and political leadership at HHS during a period of major policy change to vaccine advisory structures and funding.
  • The removal of Monarez and the resignations of Daskalakis, along with Debra Houry, chief medical officer at the CDC, and Daniel Jernigan as director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, deepens a leadership vacuum at the $9.2 billion agency as lawmakers demand oversight.
  • Kennedy’s public statements in the reference suggest a plan to reform the CDC’s institutional culture to restore perceived pride and self-esteem within the agency.
