This could go in the trump's qabinet or MAQA civil war threads as well.Monarez said there was a meeting in which she says Kennedy told her to preemptively accept recommendations from a CDC vaccine advisory panel and to fire career officials overseeing vaccine policy.
"I would not commit to that, and I believe it is the true reason I was fired," Monarez said. She later added, "I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity."

Monarez on Wednesday, however, testified Kennedy told her the childhood vaccine schedule would be changing in September and "I needed to be on board with it." Monarez said Kennedy spoke to President Trump "every day" about changing the childhood vaccine schedule.
"He did not have any data or science to point to," Monarez said. "As a matter of fact, we got into an exchange where I had suggested that I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive, and he responded that there was no science or evidence associated with the childhood vaccine schedule. And he elaborated that CDC had never collected the science or data to make it available related to the safety and efficacy."
"To be clear, he said there was not science or data, but that he still expected you to change the schedule?" Sen. Cassidy asked.

Cassidy's decision to pursue oversight of the CDC turmoil signifies a new, firmer era for his relationship with Kennedy -- a shift was on full display during Kennedy's own hearing before the Senate earlier this month.
The senator accused Kennedy of undermining President Donald Trump's legacy on Operation Warp Speed, the government effort that fast-tracked the COVID vaccine, and told him recent FDA changes to COVID vaccines were "denying" people access.
Are you aware that COVID causes 6-8 cases of myocarditis per 10,000 shots in children? Are you aware children suffer so little from Covid they can't even calculate if the vaccine is beneficial? Not enough kids being admitted to hospitals to get real stats. The shot is more risk than reward.
Canning Monarez was the right thing to do.
