Over the past two and a half years of this pandemic I have repeatedly stated that in my opinion the CDC was gross negligent and incompetent. Well guess what, they admit it. The NY Times notes;
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled. “To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees. Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years, during which much of the public lost trust in the agency’s ability to handle a pandemic that has killed more than 1 million Americans. “This is our watershed moment. We must pivot,” she said.Her admission of the agency’s failings came after she received the findings of an examination she ordered in April amid scathing criticism of the C.D.C.’s performance. The report itself was not released; an agency official said it was not yet finished but would be made public soon.
The CDC had no idea what to do from femto second one. Part of the problem is that we are dealing with Government employees, think Fauci. The other is the time constant of CDC responding to say 3 person outbreaks is months. A pandemic in the US, none.
The CDC does not need an overhauls, it needs a total destruction.
