CDC's talk is cheap. Here's what Rochelle Walensky should do instead

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announced a proposed overhaul of the 21,000 person agency, but it is unlikely to bring meaningful reform.

Will the CDC allow one of the greatest tennis players in the world, Novak Djokovic, to enter U.S. customs to play in the U.S. Open? Djokovic has natural immunity but has chosen not to get vaccinated. He is following the science. He’s in the absolute lowest COVID risk group on earth, and, as a young man, is at the highest risk for COVID vaccine complications. But his perspective puts him at odds with the CDC’s absolutism.

If the CDC is serious about correcting its misdeeds, it should start now. It should stop pushing boosters on teenagers and ask colleges to remove their booster mandates. It should ask the Philadelphia school district to remove masks on students. It should tell the government-funded Head Start program to stop requiring all children ages 2 and up to wear masks.
