Dr. Birx: CDC at 'inflection point,' expects real change following watershed admission
FoxNews.com ^ | 8/21/2022 | Peter Aitken

Former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx praised the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its rare admission of missteps in how the agency responded to COVID-19.

"A lot of directors would have just tried to tweak [it], and tweaking the agency at this point was not going to be successful," Birx said during an appearance on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "This is an inflection point."

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky last week ordered a "reset" of the agency, which will focus on creating a faster dissemination of information and response to new health threats. Some moves include internal staffing changes and steps that will streamline the data release process.

Sadly, I fear this is merely an introduction to an era of even greater abuse of power — under the guise of “public health.”

The cdc needs to be completely dismantled from top to bottom.

The CDC blatantly lied to the public and acted in a political fashion - and now they want a pat on the back for “correcting” it?

Fu*k the federal government.

They knew from the beginning that the elderly had the highest risk...and waited...and waited...and waited....

And then they quarantined WELL, YOUNG people....shutting down any chance of herd immunity.

Scarf Lady and Fauci were responsible for shutting down the Country.
She, along with Fauci and others have a lot to answer for.

They need more senior leadership focused on “equity”.

They love it when the blame can be anywhere but the mirror.

So does the CDC still have absolute power over all US home and apartment rentals?

Why not? The SEC is setting corporate “CO2 emissions” policy and the US Army is in the business of giving people sex-change operations?

Fauci and Birx specifically told Trump that at least 20 million people would die if he didn’t shut everything down. Freaking liars. Using ad hoc, half-baked information and then declaring it SCIENCE! And anyone who disagreed was unfit to work or continue to live in society.

Birx is a self admitted liar and the CDC deliberately prostitute themselves for political purposes, because Orange Man bad.

They also cost Trump the election. He was cruising before the China Virus.

Sounds to me like the direction they are heading is that they were not authoritarian and “lockdowny” enough. Next time they will recommend we really get it good and hard.

Don't get m started. I'm still po'd at little dictator cuomo for forcing me to buy chips or a silly meatball when I ordered a beer. Most stupid thing I've ever heard of. I'm glad he got a swift kick in the butt, he sure did deserve it. These people are power hungry lunatics, Hochul is even sores. sheesh

Yeah — thank God Birx was using Euro data at the time she was misleading America by following the science over the cliff. They haven’t walked the Euro data back (yet).

Much too late.

I can forgive CDC for being wrong.
I will not forgive them for applying the whole weight of the government to enforce the wrong solution.
I will not forgive them for silencing opposing voices, canceling scientists who disagreed, pulling licenses for doctors who prescribed HCQ or Ivermectin.
I will not forgive them for issuing a moratorium on mortgage, rent and evictions. They had no right to do that. How did that stick?

CDC should do research and advice only. Time to fire all the little tyrants in their ranks.
