Sen. Bill Cassidy, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has vowed to conduct “oversight” of the CDC after RFK Jr. fired Monarez.
Susan Monarez, the former head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will testify to Congress following her abrupt ouster last month amid a clash with US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.
The hearing would give Monarez a high-profile opportunity to respond to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims about her ethics and their conversations about vaccines.
Susan Monarez, the former director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is set to testify before a Senate panel next Wednesday, Sept. 19, on the recent high-profile departures from the agency.
