During recent congressional proceedings, former health official Monarez presented several allegations concerning Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Monarez stated that Secretary Kennedy did not offer condolences following a police officer’s death at a CDC shooting. She also claimed her dismissal resulted from her refusal to provide a “blanket approval” for all forthcoming vaccine recommendations, a demand she attributed to Kennedy. Additionally, Houry publicly called for Secretary Kennedy’s resignation.
The hearing also included questioning from Republican senators. Senator Ashley Moody of Florida seemingly suggested that Monarez may have orchestrated her own removal from the CDC. Furthermore, a heated exchange occurred between Monarez and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, during which Monarez challenged the senator’s assertions.
