2月23日（路透社）- 美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）表示，其首席副主任拉尔夫·亚伯拉罕（Ralph Abraham）已辞职，该机构宣布这是本月第二位高级官员离职。
目前由杰伊·巴塔查里亚博士（Dr. Jay Bhattacharya）临时管理的CDC称，亚伯拉罕的离职立即生效，并将其原因归咎于不可预见的家庭责任。该机构未置评谁将接替亚伯拉罕。

亚伯拉罕的离职紧随吉姆·奥尼尔（Jim O’Neill）之后。奥尼尔自去年8月起担任CDC代理主任，同时还兼任卫生与公众服务部副部长。
亚伯拉罕是该机构的第二号人物，于1月5日加入CDC，此前他担任路易斯安那州外科医生长，曾推动停止大规模推广疫苗接种，并批评新冠疫苗。
在卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）领导下，CDC面临预算削减、人员流失和一系列争议。小肯尼迪长期以来持疫苗怀疑论，解雇了他任命的主任苏珊·莫纳雷斯（Susan Monarez）。
莫纳雷斯于去年8月被解雇，因为她抵制小肯尼迪推动的疫苗政策变更，认为这些变更与科学证据相矛盾。
她的离职引发了四名高级官员的辞职，他们援引小肯尼迪推行的反疫苗政策和虚假信息作为辞职原因。
上周，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）院长巴塔查里亚博士接替亚伯拉罕担任该机构代理主任。特朗普政府消息人士称，这些变动是为11月选举做准备的一部分。
路透社报道称，CDC原定于本月晚些时候举行的美国疫苗咨询委员会会议将不会召开，也未公布新日期。

Feb 23 (Reuters) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Principal Deputy Director Ralph Abraham has stepped down, the agency said on Monday, announcing the exit of its second top official this month.
The CDC, which is temporarily being run by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, said the departure was effective immediately and attributed it to unforeseen family obligations. It did not comment on who would replace Abraham.

His exit follows that of Jim O’Neill, who was acting CDC director since August in addition to him functioning as Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Abraham, second in command at the agency, started at the CDC on January 5 and was most recently Surgeon General of the state of Louisiana where he led a move to stop promotion of mass vaccination and criticized the COVID shots.
The CDC has been hit by budget cuts, staff losses and a series of controversies under Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic who fired the director he had appointed, Susan Monarez.
Monarez was removed in August after she resisted changes to vaccine policy advanced by Kennedy that she believed contradicted scientific evidence.

Her departure triggered resignations from four senior officials, who cited anti-vaccine policies and misinformation pushed by Kennedy.
Last week, U.S. National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Bhattacharya stepped as acting director of the agency. Trump administration sources have said the moves are part of positioning ahead of November elections.
A U.S. vaccine advisory committee meeting scheduled for later this month by the CDC will not be held, with no new dates announced, Reuters reported last week.
