Chefen för amerikanska CDC petad – fyra högt uppsatta tjänstemän lämnar

Efter bara en dryg månad på posten sparkas högste chefen för CDC, meddelade Vita huset på onsdagen. Samtidigt lämnar fyra högt uppsatta tjänstemän myndigheten, mitt i växande spänningar kring vaccindirektiv och folkhälsopolitik.

Så sent som förra månaden godkändes Susan Monarez av senaten som ny chef för den amerikanska smittskyddsmyndigheten CDC. Hon utsågs till tillförordnad chef i januari och nominerades formellt i mars, efter att president Donald Trump oväntat drog tillbaka sin ursprungliga kandidat, David Weldon.

Nu tyder mycket på att Monarez redan har petats från sin post, enligt bland andra Washington Post.
