Over the last year, Rochelle Walensky has worked to regain the trust of CDC personnel—and the nation—while facing a surging COVID-19 pandemic

The media, politicians and the public demolished the CDC for flip-flopping. “I have spent a lot of time thinking about” the shifting advice, says Walensky. “All of the science in that moment said it was safe to take off your masks if you were vaccinated. We perhaps should have said ‘for now.’ I think that if we had said, ‘Despite the science, you have to keep your masks on,’ we would have lost the trust of people with regard to actually following the science.

Former CDC directors say coming into the agency as an outsider can be daunting. “I had more than a decade of experience running public-health programs in both the U.S. and globally, and worked for five years running the largest tuberculosis program in the country [in New York City],” says Dr. Tom Frieden, who ran the CDC from 2009 to 2017 and is currently president of the nonprofit Resolve to Save Lives. “And it was overwhelming.

Every evening, her bedtime reading consists of a carefully compiled report of the latest scientific studies on COVID-19—not exactly light fare, considering the urgency of the pandemic means that studies are now published not only in peer-reviewed journals but also on preprint servers that churn out the latest data as quickly as possible and avoid the lengthy review and editing process.

Where is dr Fauci ? he hasn’t been seen lately

CDC has been changing its tube since day one first they say one thing and quickly contradict themselves.

These bureaucrats and the politicians who implemented the new police state reality in the west now all have to lose their jobs. They broke our trust. They have to go and our taxes will not pay their salaries anylonger.

She blew it. Can’t trust the cdc now. The experts have failed us.

She should consider not sucking at her job

Get proper guidelines on how to invest and make profits, stay connected and try something new and exotic. With the help of kathybtcc

Hard to trust someone who finds it encouraging that the virus is killing mostly humans with comorbidities and then sending those who care for the immunocompromised back to work while still contagious.

Her new 5days only covid-19 quarantine is a joke. Later has to be modified by NIH professional critisize. She is not qualify to that position.

American lives mean nothing compared to power and money.

Nah I think most “trust” that the “surging” crisis is all due to the Vacijab uptake 🙈

Gain of function study is at its conclusion.

Delta + Omicron = MEDIACONTROL

Live with virus is a lousy strategy the western world will repent. The place is contaminated with the virus---toilets, stadiums, theatres, restaurants. Social distancing won't work since the bug flies, glides, flows in the air over a distance. Masks will help but cloth ones suck.

Such a cute story about how she learned what was coming on Thanksgiving, and instead of sending us masks, rapid tests, or recommendations to social distance, Walwnsky worked w the business community to reduce isolation periods. She needs to resign. She has blood on her hands

Enough is enough this pandemic is driving me crazy!! It’s been 2 years of this insanity and still not back to normalcy!! When when will this be done and over with?!!

This week, she’s out. resign

Sadly facing a crisis because individuals find it too difficult to follow her device

Blaming co-morbidities, and not emphasizing usage of n95 masks made me lose faith in her “leadership”

I don’t have issues with trust 🤷‍♀️

What’s the crisis of trust exactly?

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Dpurplewomanfx on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her Dpurplewomanfx
