President Trump on Monday selected Dr. Susan Monarez, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for the permanent role, replacing David Weldon, whose nomination was withdrawn because of senators' opposition.
Monarez has worked in federal government since 2006.
Until her appointment to the Trump administration on Jan. 23, she was deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Previously she worked in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. National Security Council and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"Dr. Monarez brings decades of experience championing Innovation, Transparency, and strong Public Health Systems," Trump posted on Truth Social. "As an incredible mother and dedicated public servant, Dr. Monarez understands the importance of protecting our children, our communities, and our future. Americans have lost confidence in the CDC due to political bias and disastrous mismanagement."
She has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and post-doctoral training in immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Previous CDC directors for decades have been medical doctors.
Monarez will serve under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is HHS secretary.
"Dr. Monarez will work closely with our GREAT Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr.,"Trump posted. "Together, they will prioritize Accountability, High Standards, and Disease Prevention to finally address the Chronic Disease Epidemic and, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!"
As interim director, her agency delayed a meeting of outside vaccine advisers and plans to research whether vaccines cause autism. In addition, there has been a rise in measles cases nationwide, mainly in unvaccinated children.
She will be the first person to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate in the role. Previous directors didn't need to be approved by the Senate, but a law was passed in 2022 requiring confirmation.

Crazy eyes!
She likes the ChyNah Virus jabs, too!
I’m not sexist. Sexism is wrong and therefore it’s a woman thing not mine.
She is a disaster of a pick to run the CDC. She’s a lifelong Democrat who never saw a jab she didn’t love, that includes children. She wanted everyone in country to wear a face diaper. She’ll be directly working with RFK Jr, who was against everything she was for. Hopefully this worthless pick to run the CDC will not last long. Here’s the doctor who could have been selected but he told the truth about the jab and that was a big no-no. Hopefully one day Trump will admit he was wrong about the jab and the absolutely worthless face diapers.
