The senior officials of the Center for Disease Control after the expulsion of Monarerez, referring to concerns about scientific independence

Four senior officials in the centers of diseases control and prevent their resignation in recent days, pointing to what they described as increasing political intervention in the agency’s scientific work, especially with regard to vaccines.

Two of them – Dibra Horte, the chief scientific and medical official at the Center for Disease Control, and Dimter Dasklakis, who led the National Center for Vacation and Respiratory Diseases – resigned on August 27, hours after the White House announced the launch of the director of the Disease Control Center Susan Monares.

Monares, confirmed by the Senate in late July, was removed less than a month until its term. “It was not aligned with the president’s work schedule to make America healthy again,” said White House spokesman Kush Disai that Monarerez said. Monares’s lawyers argue that the separation is illegal, stressing that it is the president alone who can remove a confirmed director in the Senate.

On August 28, Jim O’Neil, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services, was chosen to work as a prosecutor at the Center for Disease Control, and many White House officials were confirmed to CBS News and Kff Health News. In an internal email message sent to the employees of the Diseases Control Center in that evening, Foreign Minister Robert F. confirmed. Kennedy Junior O’Neill as director on behalf of the Center for Disease Control without treating the departure of Monares.

“I am committed to working with you to restore confidence, transparency and credibility at the Center for Disease Control,” Kennedy told the employees of the Disease Control Center, later wrote that “President Trump and I am in line with the vision of competition in order to invest in the Center for Disease Control: Enhancing the infrastructure of public health and responding to the threat in the future.”

Hourry and Daskalakis said they are increasingly uncomfortable with how to deal with a vaccine policy. Both referred to preparations for the meeting of the Consulting Committee for Evidence practices, which recommends vaccine schedules.

Houry said they were afraid, “some decisions were taken before there were even data or knowledge to support these. We are scholars, and that was about us.”

“He is very concerned that there will be an attempt to provide vaccines that already have clear recommendations with the sciences that have been examined,” Daslakis added, which warned against undermining public confidence. “If you are not able to attack the arrival, then why don’t you attack confidence? This is what I think is the book of play,” he said.

Both officials were martyred in cases where the evidence reviews were changed or withdrawn. The CDC analysis of Thimerosal, a vaccine portfolio, was spread for a short period before it descends in the direction of HHS. “If something is not lined with recommendations, this information will be dropped, and there is no view for the audience to see openness and transparency.”

The two also criticized what they described as a lack of direct communication between CDC scholars and the leadership of HHS. Daslakis said that his team was never invited to find Kennedy on topics ranging from measles to Covid-19.

When asked about Kennedy’s calls to “radical transparency”, Hourry and Daskalakis described learning about changes in the Covid vaccine table for children not through internal channels but via social media.

“The radical transparency itself has learned through a post on Twitter, which Dr. Hirai and I learned that the Secretary had imposed a change in the Covid vaccine schedule.” “What is the background that led to this decision? We are deprived of access to that information. Therefore, I do not think this is a radical transparent,” Daslakis said.

CBS News and Kff Health News contacted HHS to comment on some of the allegations of Hourry and Daskalakis, but she did not hear immediately.

Both officials said they had no jobs when they resigned. Houry described the decision as an attempt to raise the alarm about the agency’s direction.

“For us, this was already sending the bats signal,” Houry said. “We were senior scientists and job leaders in the center of diseases control. We thought this is the time to stand together and try to do some of us to raise the alarm on public health in our country.”

Daslakis said that staying in the center of diseases under the current circumstances would have made them complicit in what he called the “Public Health” weapon.

He said: “Safety has already been at risk … … We are blind in the United States already. If we continue … we will be complicit and we will facilitate the ability to go from blind flying to actively harm people.”

Houry confirmed the severity of the moment by indicating that she left without a backup plan.

“My departure without a job was just showing the magnificence of the circumstances,” Hiray said.

Daslakis said his decision was also formed through his medical department.

As a doctor, I take the Hypocratic section: First, I do not harm.

They both expressed their concerns about their personal safety in the current climate.

“The environment in which we live … ignores the wrong information, especially from the people whom some people consider by some health authorities, makes me concern all of us in public health.” “I am worried, but this is part of our job … to be brave and continue to speak the truth even when we are outside the center of disease control.”

The resignation came weeks after the shooting outside the headquarters of the Disease Control Center in Atlanta, which law enforcement is associated with wrong information.

Hurai said that the White House response to shooting was silent. Kennedy toured the site, but later conducted an interview expressing the lack of confidence in the experts. “It was after the attack. He relied on wrong information. So this is when we were trying to build confidence,” she said.

Daslakis added that while Kennedy later described the mass fire as a general health crisis, he believed that the Secretary should address the wrong information as a fundamental cause. “The wrong information about the Covid vaccine – which was documented by the Investigation Office of Georgia” as a reason for the shooting at the Center for Disease Control. He said: “I really recommend that the secretary really take his own advice and address the basic problem that led to the shooting as well.”

He also pointed out that violent prevention programs at the Center for Disease Control have decreased sharply. He said: “We are talking about violence as a general health problem. It is, and there are things we can do to prevent this. Unfortunately, the majority of this program, the employees are terminated.”

The shooting and resignation sparked calls for control. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont called for an investigation from the two parties, urging democratic Senator Patti Murray from Washington to remove Kennedy, and Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana – who voted to confirm the appointment of Kennedy as a hh’s secretary – said the developments require excess. “

Events come at a time when the Food and Drug Administration has narrowed the updated Covid vaccines for older adults and people with extreme risk factors.
