'Public health is in trouble,' says former CDC official

Season 2025 Episode 240 | 7m 14s

There are serious concerns about the Centers for Disease Control and its mission after Susan Monarez was suddenly fired from her position as director. She had refused to resign amid clashes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy. Her dismissal set off a wave of resignations, including chief medical officer Dr. Debra Houry, who joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the developments.
