The COVID-19 pandemic response had flaws that ran deep through the organization’s culture, from muddled messaging to delays in public health education to delays in publishing the science itself, according to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who has come under fire. In an exclusive interview with Fox News on August 19, she disclosed to me, “What I told our agency is nearing completion and is being considered for release. We have to halt and stop. We must exhibit our work. We must educate policymakers. As we move closer to the goal, we must make updates along the route. We require fast, applicable advice that incorporates early data peeks and adjustments as needed.” She stressed that she had previously stated and still holds that the COVID-19 vaccines are essential for keeping children in school, even those who have not had them. “As vaccinations were being introduced amid some debate, one of the first things I remarked was that we had the ability to send our children back to school even if their teachers and classmates weren’t all immunized. So, returning to school and doing so in a safe manner have always been goals of ours.”

We’ve taken all the necessary action, and I’m still working hard to guide the ship.”
