In November, an independent team of academics and public-health experts who called themselves the Covid Rapid Response Working Group gathered on Zoom to puzzle over what had by then become the pandemic’s most vexing challenge: how to make all schools safe for full-time, in-person learning as quickly as possible. Schools had not proved to be a hotbed of coronavirus transmission, but beyond that the research was complicated, and communities were divided about how to balance the risks. Some people wanted a full reopening, immediately, no exceptions. Others were terrified to return at all.
So far, there was no national plan for how to move forward. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was advising everyone to wear masks and remain six feet apart at all times. But that guidance was a significant impediment to any full-bore reopening, because most schools could not maintain that kind of distance and still accommodate all their students and teachers. It also left many questions unanswered: How did masks and distancing and other strategies like opening windows fit together? Which were essential? Could some measures be skipped if others were followed faithfully?
The C.D.C. seemed incapable of answering these questions.
Scientific reports were blocked or altered. Quarantine powers were used to achieve political goals.

No. It can’t be fixed.
Most of the government is broken
It has been corrupted to the core by libtards.
Obama weaponized all the agencies for eight years. They were bad enough to begin with, but he and his people made sure that the hires made were hardcore extremists.
The CDC is working as designed. Nothing to fix.
Hi.
The entire U.S. government is out of control and corrupt.
Would be nice for someone to tell me one alphabet department you trust?
Or, how about 40 senators and 100 representatives you can trust?
An associate justice or chief justice? Name four.
The AG leading the DoJ and FBI?
My rant is done.

Like the rest of fedgov, cut it by 2/3 and it might work.
1st question is Does it need to be fixed at all? Can it just go away?
This is a long article that failed to address the relationship between Big Pharma and its vaccines and the CDC.
The elephant was standing there in the room, and the writers amazingly failed to see it!
Have the CDC go back to gassing neighborhoods with DDT.
And take away their vaccine patents.
The further question is, should the CDC or similar rentacop organizations even exist? They are set up as “authorities”, to make rulings on things which are none of their business to begin with, like the “rent moratorium” or the mask mandates, neither one of which is in the least effective in controlling spread of disease.
Can it be fixed? The fix is in!
It’s not about Disease Control . . .It’s about Control period!
NO don’t save it. Lock the doors and send everyone away and arrest them for trespassing if they get near it.
Established by Congress as an independent, nonprofit organization, the CDC Foundation is the sole entity authorized by Congress to mobilize philanthropic partners and private-sector resources to support CDC’s critical health protection mission.Jan 9, 2018
Most NGO’s if not all, should be closed, shuttered and then bulldozed.
my concern is Fauci conspiring with CDC and WHO.
The CDC, like the DOJ, FBI, IRS, DHS, CIA, SC, Congress is totally corrupt.
Burn them down, don’t start again.
It is a chimpanzee with delusions it is a gorilla.
Put it back in its cage with an accordion and a cap and all will be well.
But that won’t happen, will it?
The purpose of the CDC, to be honest, is to push leftard “causes” like gun grabs by defining literally everything as a nebulous “health crisis”. Best to defund the whole bunch and let them find actual jobs. I hear McDonald’s is desperate for fry cooks.
No, none of the agencies are able to be fixed.
Is there some way to get access to the whole article?
That said, I wonder what has happened that the NYT is permitting these questions to be asked.
