Dr. Allison Arwady, the health commissioner who steered Chicago through the COVID-19 pandemic, was fired Friday, as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson had promised because of what he said were their differing philosophies.
The termination was confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times by Ronnie Reese, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's spokesman, though the city did not announce it.
"My top priority has always been protecting the health of all Chicagoans," Arwady wrote."Public health must always be driven by science and medicine, and never politics. ... As a physician and public health leader, my work to advance health, equity, and justice, particularly for those on the margins, will continue."
