Dr. Ashwin Vasan clarified that his early resignation as NYC Health Commissioner is due to urgent family reasons, not related to federal investigations or Mayor Adams' indictment.
Vasan emphasized, "There was never any conversation related to those ongoing activities, and those aren't really my issues nor my concern," addressing rumors about his departure.
He praised Dr. Michelle Morse, his interim replacement, stating, "She's wonderful, a nationally and internationally recognized leader in health equity and social justice."
Vasan criticized speculation regarding his early exit amid city turbulence, dismissing it as "silly season" and affirming he is leaving the department in good hands.
