Fired CDC Director Says RFK Jr. Pressured Her to Blindly Approve Vaccine Changes

Former Chief Medical Officer and Deputy Director of Program and Science at the CDC, Debra Honi, who had several agency officers to resign in terms of firing Monarez, also testified at Wednesday’s hearing.

“I resigned because the leaders of the CDC were reduced to rubber stamps, supporting the principles that were not based on science and at risk of American life. The Secretary Kennedy had censored the science of CDC, did politics and could not take away the leaders of the freedom of independence.

He also accused Kennedy stop promoting the flu in the 2024-2025 flu season, as well as spreading incorrect information and promoting disrespect for ham.

Honnie said he had learned that Kennedy had changed the CDC’s Covid -19 the vaccine guidance from one Post on social media at xThe “CDC scientists have not yet seen scientific information or justice for this change.

Monarez said Secretary Kennedy did not plan his plan to change the childhood vaccine schedule until August 25. Monarez said that he told Kennedy that proof or science would be open to change the schedule of childhood vaccine if he supported these changes. Kennedy responded that there was no existing science or evidence and detailed that the CDC had never collected that information, according to Monarez.

Monarez said that ACIP recommendations could not agree to approval before they knew what. “I created a career on scientific integrity and my worst fear was that I would then be in the position of approval that would reduce access to life -saving vaccines who needed children and others,” he said.

Before the vaccine is launched, about 20,000 children and children in the United States were attacked in HBV. Now, less than 20 people get the disease from their mothers.

“Now since we have controlled it, do we get the gin out of the bottle? If the recommendation goes, and no parents want the vaccine, no more insurance will cover it free.” After the hearing, Senator Cassidy said. “The vaccine is coverage Typically bound to ACIP recommendationsThe
