5:09Now PlayingThis week, President Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez less than a month after her Senate confirmation. The move came after she resisted RFK Jr.’s push for radical vaccine policy changes — including retracting COVID-19 vaccine approvals and firing senior CDC staff.
The fallout was immediate:
At least 3 senior CDC officials resigned in protest.
Dozens of CDC employees walked out, leaving the agency leaderless.
The CDC budget has been slashed nearly in half, crippling programs on maternal health, disease surveillance, drowning prevention, and more.
The CDC’s vaccine advisory body (ACIP) has been overhauled, now stacked with RFK Jr.-aligned vaccine skeptics.
This mass exodus signals a public health crisis in the making. With no leadership and broken partnerships at home and abroad, the U.S. faces new vulnerabilities just as global health challenges grow.
👉 In this clip, we debate:
Is RFK Jr. trying to destroy the CDC?
Do we still need the CDC in 2025?
Why do Republicans keep pushing an anti-science agenda?
💬 Do you trust the CDC anymore? Comment below.
