Outgoing CDC director says resignation spurred by sense of accomplishment, exhaustion

The outgoing head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says her reasons for stepping down were complicated, driven in part by a desire to take a break from the frenetic pace of the job during a pandemic.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky surprised many in public health circles last month by announcing her departure after two years and five months — one of the shortest tenures for a CDC director in recent decades. She resigned as the pandemic's national public health emergency was winding down.

"I did what I came to do — which was get us through the darkest days of a pandemic,” she said in an interview Tuesday.

Walensky, 54, described her time at the agency as intense, but stopped short of saying she was burned out. She said she had looked for a quiet moment to withdraw from a job that gave her a sense of pride and accomplishment but also led to criticism, protests outside her home and threats of violence.

“That (the threats) wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back,” she emphasized. But is also wasn’t something she expected when she took the job — her first time running a government public health agency.

“I never expected that when I am trying to run to be an aid to somebody, that they would actually be turned off by my very existence," Walensky added.

People like her are unlikely to face justice in this world. Maybe her and those like her will do so in the next.

If your definition of aid is to run after someone with a needle full of untested dangerous "vaccine", forced muzzling of them with ineffective masks and outright lying to them then I can probably understand why they might be turned off by you.

She did do well. There will be a lot more people inhabiting this planet, had she not succeeded at her goal. She worked feverishly at it. I am sure she is exhausted. It is not easy work, but she found her niche, for sure.

Congratulations, demonic Walensky, you’ll sleep well tonight I am sure of that.

She’ll be fine once she gets to her hacienda in Argentina.

Rochelle Walensky destroyed millions of people’s jobs along with the economy, killed unknown numbers of people and crippled many more.
She is satisfied....

This is the best thing she accomplished as the head of the CDC. Wish more bureaucrats would quit.

Rochelle kowtowed to teacher union demands and gave them a two year paid vacation. She sold school kids down the river. She is worthless and weak.

Its exhausting murdering all those people while trying to make them believe you’re helping them.

Incompentence rampant— and hysterical at times. To be replaced by an even more annoying md/phd... from the dem machine of NC Gov.Roy Cooper (a real a@@hole for JoeBama— on tape at the airport in Raleigh saying how they would push through Biden’s NC win by any means— and they were caught at it.. Durham County, again). One Mandy Cohen (a voice like fingernails on a chalk board and power freak keeping NC on lockdown longer than ever. And it failed. So, she gets a political pull from her pals at Duke (including the current crook at the head of the FDA Rob Califf, MD). Look them all up— they are all medical Marxists on the take to Pharma. Revolving door.
