The newly installed director of the Centers for Disease Control, Susan Monarez, is resisting an effort to remove her, after clashing with RFK Jr. over his irrational rejection of recommendations from a vaccine panel. It was reported just hours ago that she was resigning, but it turns out she is attempting to stay put after other multiple high-ranking CDC officials resigned en masse. [New York Times / CNN]
