"Monarez, appointed by Trump, was fired after less than a month in her role, and that firing came as a result of a dispute over vaccines with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. According to Monarez, Kennedy instructed her to pre-approve every vaccine recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This was after Kennedy had already fired the entire committee and hand-picked their replacements."
"Despite it being one of the biggest events happening in the nation's capital that morning, Fox was primarily focused on the president's visit to Windsor, England. The network aired a moment during the visit when a band performed to mark the occasion. That occurred in the final moments of The Faulkner Focus. When that show ended and Outnumbered began, the panel of hosts began with a conversation about the significance of Trump's visit. Between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., the network largely ignored the hearing."
Dr. Susan Monarez, appointed by Trump and fired after less than a month, testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee about vaccine-related disputes. Monarez said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instructed her to pre-approve every vaccine recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), even after Kennedy had fired the entire committee and hand-picked replacements. She said Kennedy told her to approve recommendations regardless of scientific evidence. Fox News largely prioritized coverage of President Trump's visit to Windsor, England, airing celebratory footage and panel discussion instead of tuning into the hearing. CNN and MSNBC provided extensive live coverage of the testimony.
