So they knew about the problem on Feb 12, why did the CDC wait until the 24th to ask the FDA for a waiver? And why did it mean the administration having to put VP Pence in charge to fix it?
I still say this test fiasco was sabotage by some in the CDC
Maybe not sabotage, but think back to 9/11. One of the big reasons 9/11 happened was a number of agencies were not properly communicating with each other. Each agency was operating under different priorities and protocols.
CDC/FDA etc. don’t operate or even exist for the same reasons. So communication is muddled. VP Pence was put in charge to help streamline that and make sure both agencies are focused on the priority of the nation.
VP Pence at yesterday’s press conference was amazing. I liked his tone, his confidence, and clarity. While the news being delivered wasn’t stellar, he made me feel calm. 10 minutes later I was stressed out again...but Pence’s tone was calming.
