RFK Jr. Does Damage Control as MAHA Attacks New CDC Chief
Daily Beast ^ | Mar 25, 2025 | Jasmine Venet

Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. attempted to calm the MAHA masses after new CDC director nominee Susan Monarez was attacked online for messages tweeted by a previous director.

In a Tuesday X post, RFK Jr. urged, “X posts that erroneously attribute Biden-era tweets supporting masks, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. to my @CDCgov Director nominee, Susan Monarez, have understandably provoked agita within the MAHA movement.”

“I handpicked Susan for this job because she is a longtime champion of MAHA values, and a caring, compassionate and brilliant microbiologist and a tech wizard who will reorient CDC toward public health and gold-standard science. I’m so grateful to President Trump for making this appointment.”

If confirmed, Monarez would be the first non-physician to lead the department.

Under her leadership, the department has already scrubbed HIV-related content from their website in an effort to erase any kind of “gender ideology,” according to a memo from NBC News.

Yet much of MAHA has remained dissatisfied with the Trump administration’s pick…

“How is she a long time champion of MAHA values? That doesn’t seem to be what the evidence shows. I want to believe you, but this pick seems well outside of the realm of what the movement stands for,” wrote one X user.

Another shared told their over 100,000 followers on X that Monarez is “quite literally the OPPOSITE of the MAHA agenda.”

They added, “Just to recap, the lady who Trump just put in charge of public health at the CDC is 100% PRO mRNA, and 100% PRO AI Transhumanist takeover of our health.”

Echoing the concerns of other commentators, the X user wagered, “Either we are getting seriously played, or someone around Trump is somehow forcing or encouraging him to pick absolutely TERRIBLE candidates to fulfill an agenda. Or both.”

Why are you quoting Tweets RFK Jr. already said were erroneously attributed to her?

_______________

The term has been widely used by our side since the convention last July. We made it up. Not ABC.
