President Trump nominated Dr. Susan Monarez to serve as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday afternoon.
“I am proud to announce that Dr. Susan Monarez is my Nominee to serve as the next Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Monarez brings decades of experience championing Innovation, Transparency, and strong Public Health Systems. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, and PostDoctoral training in Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine,” Trump said on Truth Social on Monday.
“As an incredible mother and dedicated public servant, Dr. Monarez understands the importance of protecting our children, our communities, and our future. Americans have lost confidence in the CDC due to political bias and disastrous mismanagement. Dr. Monarez will work closely with our GREAT Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr. Together, they will prioritize Accountability, High Standards, and Disease Prevention to finally address the Chronic Disease Epidemic and, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!” Trump said.
This comes after the White House withdrew former Congressman Dr. David Weldon’s nomination as CDC Director.
Weldon accused Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) of blocking his nomination to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Just twelve hours before his scheduled confirmation hearing, he received a phone call from the White House notifying him that his nomination had been withdrawn due to insufficient votes for confirmation.
“I then spoke to HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy, who was very upset,” Weldon revealed. “He told me he had been looking forward to working with me at CDC and that I was the perfect person for the job.”
According to Weldon, who was picked by President Trump himself, the major roadblocks to his confirmation came from within his own party.
The CDC was weaponized during the COVID-19 pandemic under then-director Rochelle Walensky.
Rochelle Walensky is a monster for what she did during the Covid pandemic.
During the height of the pandemic, the CDC announced a 60-day moratorium on evictions.
Then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky acted independently and signed the order – no congressional authorization needed. Walensky is queen and what she says goes.
‘This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads,’ Walensky said. ‘Such mass evictions and the attendant public health consequences would be very difficult to reverse.’
The Supreme Court eventually struck down Walensky’s unconstitutional moratorium.
Walensky previously admitted to Congress that vaccinated people can spread the COVID virus.
This is after she said vaccine misinformation was one of the biggest health threats.
Walensky was also behind the push for the child masking policy in the US.
