Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how RFK Jr. lied to Republican Senator Bill Cassidy about not undermining vaccines, then immediately fired CDC Director Susan Monarez for refusing to rubber-stamp anti-vaccine policies. They break down how Cassidy, a physician and chair of the Senate Health Committee, became the swing vote to confirm Kennedy only after extracting promises that were broken within weeks. When Monarez contacted Cassidy about Kennedy pushing debunked autism-vaccine links and undermining vaccine eligibility, Kennedy retaliated by firing her and forcing four other top officials to resign. The hosts explain how this violates the Whistleblower Protection Act since Monarez reported dangers to public health to Congress. With the CDC now in chaos and losing critical expertise during respiratory virus season, this episode shows Kennedy’s reckless destruction of America’s premier health agency.
