Mr Tillis and others asked him why the director of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was fired last week, less than a month into her tenure. Mr Kennedy said she was dishonest, and that CDC leaders who left the agency last week in support of her deserved to be fired. He also criticised CDC recommendations during the Covid pandemic tied to lockdowns and masking policies, and claimed - wrongly - that they "failed to do anything about the disease itself".
