But a former White House official described the CDC\u2019s messaging strategy of its health guidelines as \u201coverthinking\u201d and \u201ctoo careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re being way too careful and they\u2019re overthinking their messaging,\u201d the former official said. \u201cThey\u2019re smart people and they\u2019re guilty of just being a little bit in a bubble and overthinking things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To reduce the confusion, Director of the CDC,&nbsp;Rochelle Walensky, has apparently hired \u201cprominent Democratic media consultant Mandy Grunwald to improve her communication skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;chaos&nbsp;within the Biden administration comes as the nation\u2019s health experts have reversed health guidelines throughout the year. In May,&nbsp;Walensky told the nation it was safe to not wear masks indoors. She reversed her opinion months later.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>In February,&nbsp;Walensky advised the nation that \u201cteachers did not need to be fully vaccinated for schools to reopen; a day later, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Walensky was speaking in her \u2018personal capacity.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walenksy also altered course in December, telling the nation that those infected with the Chinese virus only had to quarantine for five days, a revision from the ten-day recommended isolation period.<\/p>\n<p>After those five days, she recommended mask-wearing for five more. \u201cConfusion ensued, with some outside experts urging the CDC to add a recommendation for a rapid antigen test at the end of the first five days,\u201d CNN reported.<\/p>\n<p>Walenksy defended the rule change but again changed her opinion days later.&nbsp;She then suggested that after quarantining five days, people should be tested for coronavirus, if they can find a test. If the test showed a positive result, the CDC recommended five more days of isolation.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>The chaos within President Biden\u2019s administration is indicative of year-long broken promises. In 2020, Biden promised more than ten times to shut down the virus. But after the delta and omicron variants, Biden told the nation in December there is no federal solution to tamping down coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>The president also promised he would not place vaccine mandates on individuals. He reversed course, mandating federal contractors to get the jab, along with employees working for businesses with 100 employees or more.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BIDEN 2020: \u201cI\u2019m going to shut down the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN NOW: \u201cThere is no federal solution.
