What did you feel was the worst-case scenario if you had agreed to doing that? Sanders asked Dr. Monarez, who said she was fired for refusing to fire colleagues who disagreed with Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr."

Dr. Susan Monarez was appointed CDC chief and was fired months after confirmation after refusing to rubber-stamp vaccine recommendations without reviewing them or the evidence.
