Trump challenges COVID drug success as lawmakers confront CDC vaccine policy

President Trump is expected to announce changes related to the Department of Defense, amid rising scrutiny of his policies as Congress reconvenes. Confusion has emerged over new restrictive COVID vaccine guidelines following a leadership shakeup at the CDC, leading to criticism from nine former CDC heads against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for firing CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez. This controversy coincides with CVS and Walgreens adjusting vaccine distribution policies under the new guidelines, as lawmakers prepare to question Kennedy.
