There is no good way to introduce today’s offering. Walensky and the administration are snubbing their noses at the legitimate public health community and the people that they serve and this is how they are doing it.
Yesterday (April 5, 2022) CDC Director Walensky announced the creation of a panel to:
“...improve the federal agency, amid over two years of public scrutiny and criticism about its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The planned revamping was announced Monday by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in an agency-wide email in which she said, "It is time to step back and strategically position CDC to support the future of public health," according to The Washington Post.” (emphasis added)
Why did I highlight that last statement? Because it is content free. It means nothing. It convey’s nothing. It is smoke before the mirror. It is a command to ignore the man behind the curtain.
So who will be doing this? Who will be in charge of righting the ship of CDC? A critic? A falsely maligned but well respected private sector public health official of great standing? Nope. It will be headed by:
”…a senior federal health official outside of the agency who she has hired.”
Let me get one minor detail out of the way. One federal agency does not HIRE a person from another federal agency — particularly when they belong to the same Cabinet Level agency. In this case they are both employees of the Department of Health and Humans Services: Walensky from CDC and “…Jim Macrae, an administrator at the Health Resources and Services Administration.”(HRSA)
”Macrae earned his bachelor of arts degree in sociology from Illinois Wesleyan University, a master's degree in sociology from Duke University, and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University.”
And HRSA, the agency for whom he has worked for 15 years is dedicated to improving “…health outcomes and achieve(ing) health equity through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce, and innovative, high-value programs.”
In short, Macrae is a career bureaucrat with no direct education, training or experience in the science side of public health who is employed by an agency that is seeking “equity” in health care delivery. Sorting out the science of masks or VAERS is not in his domain. And since science is not his forte the fact that Rochelle changed the definition of what a vaccine is AND how deaths “associated” with COVID-19 are recorded will be of no interest to him. But we needn’t worry, Rochelle has given Mr. Macrae help.
”Also helping to lead the project will be CDC officials Deb Houry, Robin Bailey and Sherri Berger….”
Deb Houry is the Acting Principal Deputy Director, CDC.
Robin Bailey is the Chief Operating Officer, CDC.
Sherri Berger is Rochelle Walensky’s Chief of Staff
Each of these women are direct reports of Rochelle Walensky. There is nothing about the composition of this team that suggests anything other than butt covering of an inept and intentionally misleading public health response to a virus that was not nearly as dangerous as Walensky made it appear. Nor is there any hope that this group will explore the questions surrounding VAERS, namely: Why isn’t CDC investigating the myriad reports of vaccine related AE’s and why has CDC done nothing to tackle the issue of under reporting? AND WHY is CDC insisting on vaccinating children who are at virtually no risk of death from COVID-19?
Those three issues are just the tip of the iceberg of CDC’s malfeasance.
This panel is nothing more than a PR stunt intended to take the heat off of Walensky and the administration and their relationships to Pfizer and its baby brothers and sisters in the pharmaceutical industry.
Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Proverbs 26:26
