Sidelining of CDC Career Scientists Under Biden Administration
NPR reports that career scientists at the CDC have been largely silenced under the Biden administration compared to previous years. Data shows that the CDC held approximately two dozen telebriefings in 2020 under Trump, but only two in 2021 under Biden. Public communication has been consolidated under Dr. Anthony Fauci and Director Walensky, leading to criticism regarding transparency.
