White House Names RFK JR Jim O’Neill as an alternative director CDC star-news.press/wp

The White House named an alternative to the director of the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a day after its former leader was forced out of the job.
Jim O’Neil is currently working as deputy minister of health Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and will replace Susan Monares after she was in the role for only one month.
Lawyers who represent Dr. Monares said that her dismissal was illegal, and claimed that she was targeting Kennedy because she rejected “non -scientific directives.”
The White House said in a statement that the reason for its removal was that it “did not comply with the president’s agenda.”
O’Neill is a former Silicon Valley Tech and takes over the center of diseases control at a time when some prominent officials are deeply divided into vaccine policies.
At least three senior leaders of the Agency’s Diseases Control Center resigned from the agency, and some indicated frustration with the policy of vaccine and Kennedy’s leadership, also known as RFK JR.
Among them, the chief medical official, Dibra Horte, who warned of “the rise of wrong information” about vaccines in a message that the American BBS News partner saw. It also argued against the planned discounts of the agency’s budget.
Dr. Monares, a long -term government scientist, was nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the Disease Control Center and was confirmed in a vote in the Senate similar to the party in July.
Her nomination Trump followed his first selection, former Republican Congress member Dave Wildon, who was criticized for his views on vaccines and autism.
On Wednesday, the lawyer of Dr. Monares issued a statement saying that she chose to “protect the public to serve a political agenda.”
“Since the statement of her lawyer clearly explains, Susan Monarerez is not in line with the president’s agenda,” said the White House statement, which announces the termination of his position.
On Thursday, Fox & Friends told Fox News that driving the Disease Control Center “needs to implement the Trump agenda.”
He added that the Center for Disease Control “in trouble, needs reform.”
New York Times Reports were at odds with KennedySpeaking vaccine, on the policy of pollen.
The White House said they will deliver its alternative soon.
“If people are not aligned with the president’s vision and the vision of the Secretary to make this country healthy again, we will appear to them with pleasure,” said Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary on the multiple exits.
Immigration comes in the upper part of one of the most general health bodies in the world at a time when health experts are concerned about the agency’s approach to immunization since Kennedy took over.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a member of the Senate, said health, education, work and pensions (auxiliary) that the dismissal is “reckless” and “dangerous” and called for an investigation into the launch of Dr. Monares.
Daniel Genenegan, who led the National Center for Emerging and Emerging Diseases, was one of those who left “the current context in the department.”
The head of the National Center for Virtue and Respiratory Diseases, Dimter Daskalakis, said that he is no longer able to serve “due to the continuous weapons of public health.”
There are also reports, including NBC News, which was resigned by Dr. Jennifer Leiden, Director of the Public Health Data Office, Monitoring and Technology, as well.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed to new Covid vaccines with limiting those who can receive them.
The vaccines will be available to all the elderly, but adults and younger children will be excluded without health conditions.
Kennedy wrote on X.
Dr. Monares was the first director of the Disease Control Center in 50 years, not a medical certificate. Its background in infectious diseases research.
In her month, as leader of the Disease Control Center, she helped the employees of the Amen after the headquarters of the Disease Control Center in Atlanta was attacked by an armed person believed to be harmed by Covid vaccines.
The attack, which struck hundreds of bullets in the building, was killed by a police officer.
Earlier this month, current and former employees at the agency wrote an open letter accusing Kennedy of nurturing violence towards health care workers through his anti -vaccine speech.
The departure of Dr. Monares comes about a week after the announcement of a union representing the employees of the Disease Control Center that about 600 employees were launched at the Disease Control Center.
Wide demobilization operations included employees working on the government’s response to infectious diseases, including bird flu, as well as those looking for environmental risks and dealing with public record requests.
