"As Sanders detailed in the Times - and a Thursday letter to Senate HELP Committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.) demanding a congressional probe - Monarez was fired after reportedly refusing to "act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous policies." Her exit led to resignations and a staff walkout at the CDC, which is now being led by Jim O'Neill, a Kennedy aide and biotech investor."
""Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again," Sanders noted Saturday. "That's a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.""
Bernie Sanders called for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign, asserting that Kennedy is endangering the health of the American people. Sanders cited the ouster of CDC Director Susan Monarez, who was reportedly fired after refusing to "act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous policies." Monarez's exit prompted resignations and a staff walkout at the CDC. The agency is now led by Jim O'Neill, a Kennedy aide and biotech investor. Sanders sent a Thursday letter to Senate HELP Committee Chair Bill Cassidy demanding a congressional probe. Critics including Mitch McConnell previously warned about Kennedy's role.
