On August 17, 2022 CDC director Rochelle Walensky reportedly informed her senior staff that the agency will be reorganising following an April 11, 2022 internal and external review, which focused on the handling of the Delta and Omicron waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, not 2020. She wants to restore public trust, but is it too late? [1, 2, 3, 4]
“The changes include internal staffing moves and steps to speed up data releases.” “Restructuring of the agency’s communications office and revamping its website to make public health guidance easier to find and increasing the use of preprint scientific reports to get actionable data out quicker.”
The CDC has a $12 billion budget, more than 13,000 employees, and is charged with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats. Doctors from other countries refer to the CDC website for guidance also!
The CDC were arbiters of “The Science” during the pandemic, and now they admit they made dramatic mistakes. The public and doctor’s have lost trust in the agency.
Dr Malone suspects the persons behind the April internal reports were behind the “anomalous” February 20, 2022 NY Times story which acknowledged the CDC is hiding data, and is becoming politicised. [4]
Dr Risch writes “The CDC’s announcement covers everything except the fundamental problem to which the director and the external reviewer are blind: industry subservience and epidemiologic incompetence.”
Dr Wolf states that Walensky is currently facing two legal actions, one for wilful misconduct and another for first amendment rights violations – conspiring with Big Tech. The CDC revamp also appears to be more “authoritarian” by introducing pre-print, non-peer reviewed “science” to be “rushed to the message shop” to direct public policy! [5]
“Rochelle Walensky(CDC)…her optimism for the Vaccine came from a CNN News Report…which is essentially the press release of Pfizer” says Dr Aseem Malhotra
