CDC to get overhaul after major ‘public mistakes’ in COVID response
NY Post ^ | August 17, 2022 | Lee Brown

Posted on 08/18/2022 8:23:45 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

The head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced plans to overhaul the agency Wednesday — while admitting to major “mistakes” in handling the pandemic.

“For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement.

“I want us all to do better and it starts with CDC leading the way,” she said of her agency’s more than 11,000 staff.

Bannon has been talking about this on his program this morning. Career executive civil service types (above GS-15) set up a committee to get ahead of the red wave coming in November. Their recommendations include more centralized and authoritarian power, more money, and more employees.

This has to be stopped. The lesson we should have learned from the ChiCom Plague is we need government completely out of healthcare. It’s no longer about health, it’s also about your freedom and prosperity.

However, I doubt we have the fortitude to win this one even with a red wave. Our nation is filled with cowards; pussies fully masked with face diapers, cowering in a corner, crying out for government to save them from every micro aggression.

We need to vanquish these cowards before we make any tangible changes to the deep state.

“Their recommendations include more centralized and authoritarian power, more money, and more employees.’

Thus it is always with tyrannical governments.

They will fail, admit failure, and will still retain power.

AGain, there is no political solution for our problems.

Rule No. 1....Stop making things up...like masks and the 6' crap.

Rule No. 2....You don't quarantine well people. It's what prevented early Herd Immunity.

Rule No. 3....Stop moving the goal posts...and that falls particularly to Fauci.

Stop calling the shots a vaccine.

They didn’t do anything wrong. They are the “Center for Disease Control”. So that’s what they do. They control disease. They are run by politicians. Control of disease means putting them to use in any way they can come up with.

They knew all along they had no idea what they were doing.

Then again, they kind of did because they accomplished major goals, one of them being make people fear being around other people.

My advice is not to follow the self-proclaimed leader.
They lead their direction, I make sure NOT to follow.
Nothing they recommend is good for me.

Beltway point of view. Not mine.

Every nasty concocted ruinous scheme of mass mayhem out of fedzilla is in their mind is merely a means of advancing their end goals. This applies to very government agency. Disease, violence, murder, crime, immigration, energy, weather, you name it. The mission has nothing to do with the crisis besides mass marketing messaging.

The CDC is part of the Washington swamp and its leadership readily allied themselves with the the Democratic Party during the COVID panic. Fauci in particular spouted misleading and now we know to be information not based on serious research e.g. masking, that benefited the anti Trump bandwagon. The CDC funded research at the Wuhan lab, through pass through groups, that could be linked to the Chinese military and biological weapons development. It is time for the CDC be totally revamped and better oversight given to where its funding is going. The way the CDC handled to COVID epidemic shows the agency to be totally incompetent.

If Trump gets back in office, he should fire every single employee and tear down the building… for effect. Same with the Department of NoEnergy.

The government is designed to grow itself, and will NEVER willingly give up power. All about "doing what the people sent us here to do, make laws and control things for their own good." That's the cover story for graft and corruption.

It'll collapse as all governments do. Not half an ounce of wisdom in that group.

Gotta love it how the media no longer pins the failures of the CDC on the President now that Xiden is in office.

OVERHAUL ????? Seriously, two plus years of complete and total incompetence and ALL they suggest is an overhaul. These were not MISTAKES. Cold calculating and Intentional more like it.

NO CDC, Overhaul is not sufficient. EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE needs arrested and held until the truth of WHY they were so incompetent is found. Could it be as simple as Graft, Corruption, Ignorance, Megalomania, Diversity, Inclusion, etc.

Pitchforks, Torches and Lots and Lots of Rope.

If Walensky and Fauci aren’t resigning in disgrace, then this is just window dressing.

They should be tried for crimes against humanity.
