U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has called to postpone a key vaccine advisory committee meeting following growing turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On August 27, the White House abruptly fired CDC Director Susan Monarez. That controversial firing led to a number of senior CDC officials resigning from their jobs, and widespread employee dissent against the termination boiled over into a mass employee walkout of CDC offices the following day.
Employees told reporters that they were walking out to support all senior staff who had resigned in protest, not just Monarez, according to Axios.

The controversy allegedly began after Monarez refused to approve U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s revised recommendations on vaccines. Monarez’s lawyers say she is suing for wrongful termination, and that she did her job well by refusing to approve unscientific vaccine directives from Kennedy.
