Inside the political takeover of America’s public health
Today, The Atlantic staff writer Tom Bartlett on what Monarez’s sacking signals about the Trump administration’s health agenda – and what it means for vaccine policy and trust in public health.
Insiders at the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention say the agency is in chaos.
Last week, the White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez after less than a month in the role.
Insiders say the agency is no longer able to provide reliable health guidance to Americans as it faces resignations, funding cuts, and a replacement of vaccine advisers with sceptics who have expressed anti-vaccine views.
