00:00In the United States, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC,
00:05Susan Moneris, was fired after less than a month in the job. The White House informed on Wednesday
00:11that Moneris' contract was terminated after she refused to resign amid pressure by the nation's
00:17top health official, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Her lawyers responded with a statement saying that
00:22Moneris was being targeted for protecting the public over serving a political agenda.
00:27Furthermore, they stressed that the decision evidences the systematic dismantling of public
00:33health institutions, the silencing of experts, and the dangerous polarization of science. Her
00:38departure coincided with the resignation of at least four top CDC officials amid tensions over
00:46vaccine policies and public health directives.
