Lawyers for Dr Susan Monarez have accused Donald Trump’s health secretary of « weaponising public health ». RFK Jr is a renowned vaccine sceptic, whose contentious policies have been decried by experts.
The White House says the director of America’s public health agency has been sacked less than a month after she was sworn in.
The ousting of Susan Monarez from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has triggered a wave of resignations, amid backlash against health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Earlier this month, the vaccine-sceptic announced $500m (£375.
