ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - More resignations have come after Wednesday’s news that the director of the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had been fired .

According to the White House, Dr. Susan Monarez was terminated from her job after less than one month in the position. White House spokesman Kush Desai said Wednesday night that Monarez isn’t “aligned with” President Donald Trump’s agenda and refused to resign, so the White House terminated her.

Attorney Mark Zaid said in a post on X late Wednesday that Monarez, as a presidential appointee and Senate-confirmed officer, can be fired only by Trump.

On Thursday, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, head of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, resigned in a fiery social media post.
