CDC to undergo ‘revamp’ amid credibility crisis
- The CDC will be undergoing a month-long “revamp” amid its lowering credibility among the public.
- Director Rochelle Walensky told her staff that an outside leader will be reviewing the agency’s “structure, systems, and processes.”
- The agency had been criticized for their confusing and often contradictory guidance through the years of the pandemic.
After facing a crisis on credibility amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is initiating a month-long “revamp.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky informed her staff in an email obtained by the Washington Post that “it is time to step back and strategically position CDC to support the future of public health.”
Walensky acknowledged her staff’s hopes for the agency to “build on its rich history and modernize for the world around us.” She then said that an outside leader has been hired to review the agency’s “structure, systems, and processes.”
The agency was looked to for guidance at the start of the pandemic, but its occasionally contradictory and often-changing guidelines caused the public to mock and dismiss its reports.
For instance, earlier this year, the CDC said that Americans can go mask-free in public indoor spaces. However, schools still required the wearing of face coverings.
The agency was also criticized for its rollout of vaccine boosters. Walensky had overruled an advisory panel that declined to recommend Pfizer’s booster shots for frontline workers. The CDC then didn’t release booster shot data and explained that the information could cause misinterpretation.
Critics also called the agency out for failing to quickly and effectively get tests to the public.
A January 2022 poll from NBC News revealed that only 44% of Americans trust the CDC, compared to 69% at the start of the pandemic.
Walensky told the Washington Post, “Never in its 75-year history has CDC had to make decisions so quickly, based on often limited, real-time, and evolving science. As we’ve challenged our state and local partners, we know that now is the time for CDC to integrate the lessons learned into a strategy for the future.”

The CDC has more than a credibility problem. Just like the DOJ and the Ex-Soviet KGB wannabes, they have been politicized, weaponized, and biased against the opposite political party and America’s citizens. these organizations need their houses cleaned from top to bottom. The present governmental administration is inherently corrupt. The POTUS is one of the most corrupt presidents the U.S. has ever had.

It will take decades of honesty before they can even possibly gain any respect or trust after non-stop lies for 2 years straight

After 6+ decades of treason that caused their loss of credibility it is going to take at least that long or more before Americans will trust any department of the federal government. Our elected politicians were happy to let the central hub of the one world global government, aka the new world order’s shadow government operate the government from behind the curtain, while they put on pony shows to keep us fooled. They have now been exposed as deep state establishment INSIDERS who have been working with the new world order for may decades. If not for Julian Assange & Edward Snowden, we might still be unaware of their treason & crimes against humanity, because the judicial system itself is so corrupt. The problem with the CDC. the WHO. the FDA, the NIH & the HHS credibility problems did not begin with covid 19, but have been ongoing & ever increasing for at least 6+ decades. We were slower to catch onto the corruption in the intelligence, judicial system & educational system. Now it looks like the higher level echelons & heads of all departments of the federal government are all working against Americans & America, instead of for us. IMO, all of the health care bureaucracies should be abolished & start over from scratch – if we study & find we really benefit from them. We have the record of being the most vaccinated nation on the planet & also having the sickest children with chronic & autoimmune diseases. Does this sound like an agency
we need to keep? The FDA is another agency that has failed to do its job & actually seems to have forgotten what they were supposed to be doing decades ago. This agency is being paid to protect us from harmful drugs. etc. So why was the FDA requesting a waiver from FOIA to withhold all information they already had on Pfizer’s covid 19 vaccine/boosters for 75 years. Does that sound like they are working to protect us or working to kill us off & cover it up to keep the vaccine program going to harm or kill more people. What are they trying to cover up? Find the truth sites to learn morticians embalming bodies telling us they are seeing clots never seen before covid 19 vaccines. They describe them as being rubbery. fibrous. but cam be broken. One shared in video looked to be the full length of the leg, it was pulled from the groin of. He said other embalmers in the area are finding the same thing & he also said it had increased by 85$ in the first few months of this year. The life insurance companies are also telling us their pay-out levels have gone up by 45% in the first few months of this year. We have already learned that adverse effects & deaths are being covered up by MSM & adverse effects are much higher & worse than being reported by CDC, FDA. WHO, NIH, etc.

The CDC, FDA, NIH all need to be disbanded. None of them are trustworthy. It’s all about power and money and the support of big Pharma and not one whit about public health. They have lost my trust completely and forever. Dr Fauci is a criminal and will pay his dues before God.
