BREAKING: CDC Director Susan Monarez Ousted After Less Than One Month on the Job
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 27, 2025 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 08/27/2025 2:38:26 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired less than a month on the job.

CNN and The Washington Post and The Hill confirmed Dr. Monarez has been ousted.

Details of Monarez’s departure from the CDC are not immediately available.

The Hill reported:

Susan Monarez, the longtime government scientist recently confirmed as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has been let go from her position after less than a month in the role.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed to The Hill that Monarez is ousted as CDC director. The Senate confirmed her on July 29.

The Washington Post was first to report Monarez’s firing. The Hill has reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services for comment.

Prior to being nominated to lead the CDC, Monarez had served as acting CDC Director shortly after the start of the second Trump administration. She previously served as deputy director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

I wonder what happened to cause her to be fired.

Susan Monarez was effectively fired from her role as CDC Director because she reportedly clashed with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his decisions to overhaul the agency’s vaccine policy and dismantle a key advisory panel. This resulted in her abrupt departure after just weeks in the position, during a period of significant internal turmoil and workforce reductions at the CDC

Asked AI.

She wasn’t Pres. Trump’s first choice.

FWIW, I don’t think we need a CDC.

Defund it.

It will be interesting to see. She was a controversial pick but Kennedy really wanted her.
Today on X
A closer look at the CDC director’s history and connections reveal that her government career is closely linked to the intersections of re-branded eugenics, the militarization of healthcare and the expansion of the bio surveillance

Here’s my take. Something serious from her past has surfaced. Someone went digging through old emails or social media posts and there was a big, stinking turdunken. Either that, or she was shown to have an unacceptable financial arrangement with someone like Pfizer. Perhaps, get our XYZ approved, and we’ll pay off your house. Drug got approved, house got paid off.

“FWIW, I don’t think we need a CDC.”

Along with the FDA, EPA, etc. These centralized Federal Government agencies that always get it wrong. Always getting it wrong on an escalating scale of misery and death.

Let each state have their own version so there will be competition between ideas and approaches.

Does somebody have a binder full of pictures of women like this? She looks like the woman from Cracker Barrel.

It may not be a popular view, but I believe that we do need a CDC. The last few years have been political and awkward at best. However, historically the CDC has played a very important role in disease control.

But the Sheeple need one version of the truth. Who knows what they might think if they think for themselves.

Blame her appointment on RINO Big Pharma lobbyist Senator Cassidy of Louisiana! He has been a bigger hindrance to MAHA than Senators Murkowski and Collins!

I wanted Dave Weldon MD (RFK’s first pick.) Weldon is NOT anti-vax, he remains a practicing internist who regularly vaccinates his patients, but he did acknowledge and testify about the concerns of parents over childhood vaccine safety in the 90s.

I am not from Louisiana nor have I ever called a congressional office before, but I called Senator Cassidy’s office…both the one in Louisiana and in DC to express my frustration over his MAHA interference.

“he remains a practicing internist who regularly vaccinates his patients”

And you still think he’s qualified?

“At the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Monarez served as deputy assistant secretary for strategy and data analytics, overseeing research portfolios for the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.”

With the 51-47 vote in favor of Monarez, she becomes the first CDC director to pass through Senate confirmation under a 2023 law.

HSARPA is divided into 5 main divisions: the Borders and Maritime Security Division, Chemical and Biological Defense Division, Cyber Security Division, Explosives Division, and the Resilient Systems Division.

Unroll the tape of the 47 who voted against her - no doubt they’ll be singing her praises now. U have no idea what precipitated this - but nice time to slip it into the news stream behind the MPLS shooting.

Here is her potential exposure:

“Chemical and Biological Defense Division.”

The creators of Covid-19?

If we need it, then let a constitutional amendment be passed by the states to create such authority for the federales. This ignoring the clear processes laid out in the constitution, just because... its purpose is to limit runaway government, that’s why they insist it be ignored.

Monarez was reportedly ousted from her position in late August 2025. Sources indicate that her refusal to commit to changing vaccine policy without consulting her advisors was a contributing factor.
