Former CDC director Susan Monarez maintains her claim that she was fired for resisting changes to vaccine policy pushed by US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which she viewed as scientifically unsound. Monarez alleges she was instructed to pre-approve vaccine recommendations and dismiss CDC officials. Kennedy denies these claims, calling Monarez's statements false. Monarez's lawyers say she'll testify under oath, while Senators Sanders and Warren have requested her Senate testimony.
