S8, Ep 29- Turmoil at the CDC

CDC Director Susan Monarez has been fired after less than one month on the job, sparking a wave of resignations by senior leaders and raising alarms about the politicization of public health. In this episode of The Health Advocates, host Steven Newmark unpacks what happened, why it matters, and what the loss of experienced leadership means for patients and communities. From vaccines to emergency preparedness, the future of the CDC — and public trust in science — is on the line.  Contact Our Host Steven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF: [email protected] A podcast episode produced by Ben Blanc, Director, Digital Production and Engagement at GHLF.
