But it was a clash with Trump’s Secretary for Health and Human Services, Robert F Kennedy Jr, that sealed her fate.

A former colleague, who spoke to Monarez on Wednesday said she claimed Kennedy had asked her to act illegally, by firing officials without cause and unscientifically, by endorsing recommendations on vaccines that she didn’t believe were based on evidence.

Kennedy says he won’t talk about individual personnel matters.

RFK Jr has long been a critic of widespread vaccinations. This week, the US Food and Drug Administration, now headed by a RFK Jr ally, issued revised guidelines targeting the latest Covid-19 vaccines: now recommended only for those over 65, or with certain pre-existing medical conditions – instead of the previous yearly jab, for children as young as six months and up.
