The Daily - The C.D.C.’s Vaccine Chief on Why Quitting Was His Only Option
Over the past 24 hours, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been plunged into turmoil.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to fire the agency’s director, Susan Monarez, igniting a standoff that prompted three other senior officials to resign.

Guest: Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a former director at the C.D.C.
Background reading:

- Mr. Kennedy’s move to dismiss Dr. Monarez came after she declined to fire agency leaders or to accept all recommendations from a vaccine advisory panel, according to people with knowledge of the events.
