"Susan Monarez was fired as the CDC's director and Dr. Debra Houry resigned as the agency's chief medical officer and deputy director over disputes about changes at the agency."
""By bringing on expert scientific leaders to partner in this launch," Newsom said in a statement, "we're strengthening collaboration and laying the groundwork for a modern public health infrastructure that will offer trust and stability in scientific data not just across California, but nationally and globally.""
California will hire two former senior CDC officials, including Susan Monarez, who was fired, and Dr. Debra Houry, who resigned, to serve as public health consultants. The hires will work with the state's public health department to build trust in science-driven decision-making. California joined Washington and Oregon to launch an alliance in September to create state-level public health guidance and vaccine recommendations amid federal policy changes. Governor Gavin Newsom said the hires strengthen collaboration and lay groundwork for a modern public health infrastructure offering trust and stability in scientific data.
