Fired CDC director reveals a surprising reason – what's happening?
Former CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky testified before Congress. She stated she was fired due to resistance to RFK Jr.'s views. RFK Jr. has repeatedly questioned vaccine safety and efficacy.
Walensky's testimony sheds light on internal pressures within the CDC. She claims she faced demands to amplify specific narratives regarding vaccines. This occurred despite her scientific assessments.
According to NPR, Walensky stated she was dismissed in December 2023. The stated reason at the time was to restructure the agency. However, she now believes it was due to her disagreements.
The testimony highlights a concerning trend. It raises questions about political influence on public health guidance. Future investigations may explore the extent of this influence.
