CDC Director Fired: Ashish Jha Calls It 'More Than Unprecedented'
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.

Firing the CDC’s first Senate-confirmed boss isn’t just unprecedented—it’s the political equivalent of cancelling pizza delivery after ordering a large. Spoiler alert: the disease here might be incompetence or just office drama at viral levels.
Susan Monarez’s firing is like getting kicked out of your job before you even get free coffee. Senate-confirmed one day, ghosted the next—politics means never having to say you’re job-safe.
In an era of plot twists, CDC firing the first Senate-cleared director feels like reality TV with flu shots. Someone grab the popcorn; we’re watching bureaucracy burn like a bad meme.
