Dr. Rochelle Walensky has made a mockery of the CDC
Washington Examiner ^ | August 02, 2021 12:00 AM

It cannot be easy to lead the agency that handles infectious diseases in the midst of an international pandemic. Still, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should at least be able to prove she is up to the task. Dr. Rochelle Walensky has repeatedly proved herself unfit and unreliable. She needs to go.

Perhaps her worst failure, however, was her wishy-washy approach to school reopenings. Walensky switched her position on whether social distancing in the classroom was necessary, not once, not twice, but three times. First, she said that three feet of social distancing would be sufficient. Then, it was six feet, and then back to three feet. She offered no scientific reasoning for any of these authoritative statements. That's because she wasn't following the science, but the teachers unions, which successfully bludgeoned Walensky into changing the CDC's draft guidance on school reopenings.

Under Walensky’s guidance, the CDC has become untrustworthy, illogical, and prone to reversing itself based on political nonsense. Its guidance has changed so many times, often in spite of scientific data, that the public can hardly know what to believe. The CDC needs better leadership if it is to maintain even a shred of credibility, and Walensky has proven that she is incapable of using the power entrusted to her.

That place was a mockery long before she got there. Hell, it’s not even a mockery, it’s probably better described as a criminal organization.

Time to defund the CDC ...there are no real doctors there..

Time for the red states to collect IRS money and only send to DC what there supposed to do....No Dept of education and all the others..

Until you get the money out of DC it will only get worse

Both the CDC and the NIH are under the control of Biden’s commissars. The public has rightly lost confidence and trust in these institutions.

Really? That’s her worst failure?

That's how it was originally supposed to work. Article I, Section 2:

"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. "

States were supposed to send in money in proportion to their population. Senators (appointed by the state legislatures) were supposed to not allow passage of improper spending bills.

I would count pulling her mother out of a Nursing Home into private care as she was telling everyone else things were just fine is pretty bad. Of course, being a Democrat, it was a non-event.

The CDC is a political organization that occasionally practices medicine

Biden’s politburo only picks the most left-wing, incompetent a**holes to be a pert of his illegitimate administration.

She’s a joke, reminds of so many people with supposedly impressive law or medical degrees that have no intelligence.
