CDC director orders reorganization, saying COVID-19 response 'did not reliably meet expectations'
Fox News
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky announced a shake-up of the agency amid criticism of its response to COVID-19 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," she said in a statement obtained by The Washington Post. "My goal is a new, public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication, and timeliness. "
The changes are a CDC initiative, and were not directed by the White House or other administration officials, Walensky said.
