Trump picks qualified, normal health leader to head CDC; experts still cautious
""We saw what happened with Susan," Debra Houry, CDC's former chief medical officer who resigned in protest of Kennedy's political interference, told Stat News. "She couldn't make staffing or policy decisions. What has changed? Kennedy hasn't changed.""
""Schwartz led nationwide Covid-19 vaccine deployment and her long track record of directly issuing rights-crushing civilian and military vaccine mandates... reflects she lacks the basic ethics and morals to lead the CDC," Siri wrote."
""These Highly Respected Doctors of Medicine have the knowledge, experience, and TOP degrees to restore the GOLD STANDARD OF SCIENCE at the CDC," Trump stated in his announcement of Schwartz's nomination."
The search for a new CDC director revealed that qualified candidates sought autonomy to make staffing decisions free from political influence but were not selected. Trump announced Dr. Schwartz's nomination, praising her qualifications. Kennedy expressed a desire to work with the new leadership to restore trust and integrity at the CDC. However, critics, including Kennedy's ally Aaron Siri, warned that Schwartz's history with vaccine mandates raises ethical concerns about her ability to lead the agency effectively.
