Susan Monarez, the CDC’s first-ever Senate-confirmed director, got canned in what Ashish K. Jha insists wasn’t just a pink slip but a historic 'more than unprecedented' firing. Because, you know, firing the debutante director confirmed by the Senate is obviously something more epic than the time your phone autocorrected your boss's name to 'Big Boss.' It’s the kind of plot twist CDC never signed up for. Not even a viral pandemic could anticipate this drama. History was made, papers were probably burned, and suddenly being Senate-confirmed feels as fragile as a bubble wrap factory in a hurricane.
