CDC Left Leaderless After New Director Dr. Susan Monarez Is Ousted and Other Key Officials Follow
28th August 2025
CNN, a Voice of the Crust.
Dr. Susan Monarez, who was sworn in as director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on July 31, has been removed from the position, the White House said Wednesday.
Her departure was quickly followed by the resignation of several high-level veteran agency officials, leaving the CDC leaderless at a perilous time.
Typical Narrative Media fearmongering. “OH MY GOD WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” No we won’t.
“Susan Monarez is not aligned with the President’s agenda of Making America Healthy Again,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in a statement. “Since Susan Monarez refused to resign despite informing HHS leadership of her intent to do so, the White House has terminated Monarez from her position with the CDC.”
The typical passive-aggressive bureaucratic playbook doesn’t work with Trump. Get with the program or hit the road. Eventually the rest of them will get the message or get the boot.
Unlike most career politicians who wind up in the oval office, Trump is an experienced CEO and is going to do what he would do to a company he has taken over. America will be the better for it.
I wish Steve Jobs had run for President. That would have been entertaining.
