Former CDC Director Susan Monarez and Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry are testifying before a Senate panel weeks after departing in a dramatic shakeup at the health agency.
In her opening statement before the Senate Health Committee, former CDC Director Susan Monarez said she was fired after she refused to carry out HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s demands. "I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity, but that line does not disappear with me," she said.
