Susan Monarez backs vaccines at Senate hearing to lead CDC
SHARE

Susan Monarez, the nominee chosen by President Trump to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, emphasized the critical role of vaccination during her confirmation hearing. In a time when the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is working to restrict access to vaccines both in the U.S. and globally, Monarez’s stance on vaccination is significant.

During the hearing, Monarez stated, “I think vaccines save lives. I think that we need to continue to support the promotion of utilization of vaccines.” Her comments were in response to Kennedy’s decision to halt U.S. support for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which aids in providing vaccines to underprivileged countries. The U.S. has historically been a major supporter of this organization.

When questioned about the debunked theory linking pediatric vaccines to autism, a claim that Kennedy has long championed, Monarez firmly stated, “I have not seen a causal link between vaccines and autism.”

Despite being pressed by Democratic senators on whether she disagreed with Kennedy on any issues or policies, Monarez did not provide direct answers. This is significant as Kennedy has recently replaced experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) with individuals who question the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.

As the ACIP meeting was taking place concurrently with Monarez’s hearing, the focus was on the changes Kennedy made to the panel. Monarez refrained from commenting extensively on Kennedy’s actions but expressed support for ensuring public trust in decision-making processes.

The CDC director plays a crucial role in endorsing ACIP recommendations, which are typically followed. When asked about potential conflicts of interest at ACIP meetings, Monarez emphasized the importance of evidence-based information being presented.

Committee chair Bill Cassidy urged Monarez to ensure a balanced representation of experts at ACIP meetings, especially when vaccine critics are speaking. Monarez highlighted the technical expertise required for ACIP members and the importance of filling the remaining vacancies with qualified individuals.

If confirmed by the Senate, Monarez would be the first CDC director to be appointed following a law enacted in 2023 to reform the agency after challenges faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. She is Trump’s second nominee for this position, following the withdrawal of the original nominee due to concerns over his views on vaccine safety.

In conclusion, Susan Monarez’s confirmation as CDC director holds significant implications for public health, especially in the context of ongoing debates and controversies surrounding vaccination. Her commitment to evidence-based decision-making and support for vaccine promotion will be crucial in addressing global health challenges.
