During the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing, former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Susan Monarez said she was fired after refusing to approve new childhood vaccine mandates without seeing data, and firing career officials.

“I responded that I could not pre-approve recommendations without reviewing the evidence, and I had no basis to fire scientific experts,” she said. Monarez said she would be willing to change the vaccine schedule if data supported the move.

She also noted that she is concerned about the direction the U.S. is headed in. “If we continue down this path, we are not prepared, not just for pandemics, but for preventing chronic health disease, and we’re going to see kids dying of vaccine preventable diseases,” Monarez said.
