Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he plans to make changes to the childhood immunization schedule in September, according to the ousted director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Susan Monarez. Monarez detailed the conversation Wednesday at a hearing of the Senate health committee focused on the recent turmoil inside the CDC.

“He said that the childhood vaccine schedule would be changing starting in September, and I needed to be on board with it,” Monarez said, answering a question from the committee chairman, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La. Monarez said that Kennedy offered no science or data to support a change in the schedule and that she refused to go along.

To secure his nomination in January, Kennedy assured Cassidy he would not change the childhood vaccine schedule.

Monarez testified that Kennedy “was very upset” about her refusal and that he was “extremely animated towards me in that room.” She said he responded with accusations against the CDC and doctors.

“He said that CDC employees were killing children and they don’t care. He said that CDC employees were bought by the pharmaceutical industry. He said CDC forced people to wear masks and social distance like a dictatorship,” she said. “He said, during the Covid outbreak, CDC told hospitals to turn away sick Covid patients until they had blue lips before allowing them to get treatment.”

“Those statements are not true,” she added.
