Senator Marshall Joins CNN to Discuss the Senate Hearing with Former CDC Director Susan Monarez
Washington – On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined CNN to discuss the Senate Hearing with former Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Susan Monarez, Ph.D., and why there is faltering trust in the CDC.

On whether Senator Mullin has a recording of Secretary Kennedy firing Dr. Monarez:
“I don’t think that’s the real reason she was fired. I think the real reason she’s fired is that philosophically, she wanted to go in a different direction than Secretary Kennedy. Look, Secretary Kennedy is not an anti-Vaxxer, but he doesn’t believe that every person needs every vaccine. But Dr. Monarez, as I listen to her today, she believes every person needs every vaccine. That every child needs all 76 jabs. And I think that’s where the break is. It’s more of a philosophical look at things beyond the who-said, he said, who-said-what.”
On why Secretary Kennedy fired Dr. Monarez, and the importance of good science:
“Of course, and we wish that’s what she was doing. But I think that she’s continuing to contribute to the vaccine hesitancy out there… I absolutely think the CDC is the problem here. They’re the ones that created the vaccine hesitancy, starting with the COVID vaccines, by lying to us about them. And then continuing the myth, whether it was monkeypox or them, manipulating data on COVID vaccines, and myocarditis, those types of things. I think that her insistence that every child needs all 76 jabs, that every child at one day of age needs a Hepatitis vaccine, continues to create vaccine hesitancy. Of course, we want to follow the science, but they have no idea what the Hepatitis vaccine is doing to the immune system of a one-day-old.”
On Senator Cassidy’s statements around the Hepatitis B vaccine:
“Well, I think I’m more of an expert on during the pregnancy. So, we test every pregnant woman for Hepatitis antigens. And then I get to know this patient. As long as they have a negative Hepatitis screen, they’re not doing IV drugs, they’re not living with someone that has Hepatitis, the chances of that baby having Hepatitis are zero, unless you’re going to go put that baby in a sandbox where there’s used IV needles.
“There are people that need the Hepatitis vaccine. I’m just saying, not a one-day-old, and not every baby does. If we don’t know the Hepatitis status of the mom, if it’s a patient that hasn’t got prenatal care, it’s a person that’s doing drugs, of course, that baby needs the Hepatitis vaccine. I have to have faith that a mom, a dad, and a doctor can discuss every vaccine, the pros and cons, and the risks and benefits of it. I just think that one day is way too early, and probably don’t need that unless like you’re going into nursing or you’re going into medical school. There needs to be a reason for that. The benefits don’t necessarily outweigh the risk.”
On Senator Marshall’s rationale for that viewpoint, (while being interrupted by Jake Tapper):
Senator Marshall: “Look, you know, we’re doing random drug tests on mom. I’m getting to know these patients, trust me, if they were doing IV drugs, I would know it by the end of their pregnancy.”
Jake Tapper: “I’m saying, I don’t, I don’t question your practice. I’m saying, but like, this is a country of 350 million people, not everybody knows what’s going on with every patient.”
Senator Marshall: “And then that’s my point. So if they’re at risk, then. Give them the Hepatitis—”
Jake Tapper: “But I don’t know that they’re at risk.”
Senator Marshall: “Of course, you do absolutely. I know who is at risk.”
Jake Tapper: “I said you do. I’m saying not every physician knows about every patient.”
Senator Marshall: “If you have someone you don’t know, of course, that’s the person that needs the Hepatitis vaccine. But at some point in time, we have to practice medicine. The CDC doesn’t practice medicine. They make recommendations. But what we’ve gotten to is like the CDC is a gospel.
“And… if you try to sit down with young parents today and tell them, this is why your child needs this Hepatitis vaccine, it doesn’t make sense to them, and then it creates vaccine hesitancy. Look, I believe in the polio vaccine, MMR, and DTaP. Those have stood the test of time; the benefits clearly outweigh the risk. But no one can really show me that the benefits of the Hepatitis vaccine outweigh the risk to give it to every single child.”
