The review, begun in April, comes after the CDC faced heavy criticism for its stumbles both in the early days of the pandemic and more recently, with critics pointing to confusing guidance and slow responses.
According to Bloomberg , Per Bloomberg , “Director Rochelle Walensky began telling CDC’s staff Wednesday that the changes are aimed at replacing the agency’s insular, academic culture with one that’s quicker to respond to emergencies. That will mean more rapidly turning research into health recommendations, working better with other parts of government and improving how the CDC communicates with the public”
The NYTimes Tweeted , “The head of the CDC said the agency had failed to respond quickly enough to the coronavirus pandemic and would overhaul its operations. An external review concluded that its public guidance about Covid was “confusing and overwhelming.”
The announcement was made by Walensky Wednesday morning in a video message to the CDC staff. She informed the staff there is “significant work to do” to improve the nation’s health defense.
“For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for Covid-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” Director Rochelle Walensky said. “I want us all to do better and it starts with CDC leading the way. My goal is a new, public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication and timeliness.”
“Prior to this pandemic, our infrastructure within the agency and around the country was too frail to tackle what we confronted with Covid-19,” she said. “To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes — from testing, to data, to communications.”
Looks like suppressing public and scientific debate on solutions was a major mistake . Perhaps we can work on putting real science first over political science ?
Wow…refreshingly honest for a change.
Government Fails.
Reorganize.

They kept the data secret because of politics.
They didn’t want to disclose the exact location of COVID cases and data regarding comorbidities.
Now they talk about a Monkeypox vaccine, and the disease could be easily stopped by curtailing some behavior among a select group of citizens.
Polio is percolating because of low vaccination rates among another select group of citizens.
Follow the science, political science.
10,600+ employees at the CDC. Think about that. 10,600 bureaucrats and they still get it wrong.
GOVERNMENT DOES EVERYTHING WRONG, ALL THE TIME
Time for a WAY smaller, more nimble, and responsive government at all levels.
Walensky is a political soldier. It is more smoke before the November elections. I wouldn’t be surprised if she declares an emergency by early October while schools are in session and a few kids start sneezing.
Trump wasn’t much better with his picks either, but nothing beats leftist picks for hypocrisy or cruelty. They know no limits to achieve their sinister goals.
Midterms are coming. Time to play dumb on their part!
NEVER FORGET!
Goal Achieved… election is over.
OK to admit failure now.
Allows for FUNDING “to fix problem” (that they created)
Allows for NEW “fixed” CDC to IMPOSE new restrictions (use monkeypox as cover?) to alter the midterm elections.
They lied . People died.
It’s OK.
The murderers belong to the correct political party.
Nothing to see here.
