0.031 - 30.73 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host)

An explosive hearing in the United States Senate as Donald Trump's own CDC pick, who Trump fired, Dr. Susan Monterrez, testified against the Trump regime, testified against Donald Trump. testified against RFK Jr. Now, I know a lot of attention has been spent on the hearing of Kash Patel, Trump's FBI director, who failed miserably trying to cover up Donald Trump's dark past.

30.71 - 55.586 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host)

But this was in many ways a more important hearing involving this whistleblower who was Trump's own pick. Her name is Dr. Monterrez. Trump fired her because she was not OK with RFK Jr., arbitrarily and capriciously and maliciously just destroying the vaccine recommendations for Americans, especially children.

55.927 - 83.835 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host)

Let me show you what went down in the United States Senate as Dr. Monteres, the former CDC director, appointed by Trump, confirmed by the Senate, testified yesterday. So Dr. Monterrez talked about how RFK Jr. had no data, no science to point to when he butchered the vaccine recommendations that scientists and thus doctors and Americans rely on. Watch this.

83.815 - 103.107 Senator Bill Cassidy / Committee Chair voice (likely Bill Cassidy)

Secretary Kennedy told the Finance Committee that he did not ask you to pre-approve, but that you're biased against the new ACIP and he just asked you to keep an open mind. Did he cite any data or science as relates to the potential ACIP recommendations to persuade you to support them?

0

104.352 - 126.225 Dr. Susan Monterrez (former CDC director) [also spelled Moneriz/Monteres in transcript]

He did not have any data or science to point to. As a matter of fact, we got into an exchange where I had suggested that I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. And he responded that there was no science or evidence associated with the childhood vaccine schedule.

126.56 - 135.242 Dr. Susan Monterrez (former CDC director) [also spelled Moneriz/Monteres in transcript]

And he elaborated that CDC had never collected the science or the data to make it available related to the safety and efficacy.

135.262 - 141.497 Senator Bill Cassidy / Committee Chair voice (likely Bill Cassidy)

To be clear, he said there was not science or data, but that you still expected you to change the schedule.

142.237 - 164.75 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host)

Next, I want to show you the top medical officer in the CDC, the chief medical officer, Dr. Auri. She testified how she learned that the Trump regime was going to be getting rid of the vaccine recommendation. She goes, I learned about it via a social media post on X. Here, play this clip.

164.77 - 182.001 Dr. Auri / Dr. Owry (CDC Chief Medical Officer) [name variants in transcript]

I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC COVID vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science.
