Short commented that \u201cthe agency\u2019s reputation and credibility has taken a huge hit over the past couple years. They are very aware of that, so this move is also about shoring up trust and credibility with the American people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walensky stated that the evaluation will look over how the CDC can better and more quickly respond to virus outbreaks, as well as modernizing its data. <\/span><span>\u201cAt the conclusion of this collective effort, we will develop new systems and processes to deliver our science and program to the American people, along with a plan for how CDC should be structured to facilitate the public health work we do,\u201d Walensky wrote in an email to agency employees, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/us\/cdc-under-fire-for-covid-response-announces-plans-to-revamp-agency\/ar-AAVR9Xe\"><span>according<\/span><\/a><span> to The Washington Post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The CDC director also mentioned focusing on \u201chealth equity,\u201d a term that has controversial political interpretations as Short mentioned on \u201cMorning Wire.\u201d \u201c<\/span><span>[<\/span><span>In] terms of rooting out partisanship from the agency, it doesn\u2019t look like the review will go that deep,\u201d Short said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The CDC has also been the center of controversy over its recommendations for closing schools when there wasn\u2019t sufficient data to support such a decision. In August, Walensky also advised Americans to get the COVID-19 booster shots before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or CDC had reviewed data on the shots\u2019 effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet another criticism of the CDC\u2019s attempt to revamp is that these reviews are being conducted by other government officials, not outsiders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe review will be conducted by former acting administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, Jim Macrae. So, not exactly a government outsider,\u201d Short explained. \u201cThey\u2019re also tasking three senior-level CDC officials with gathering feedback. A stronger move would probably be to commission an Inspector General \u2014 someone who is paid to be an objective watchdog \u2014 that might inspire more confidence in the outcome. As it stands now though, I\u2019m not predicting a real overhaul.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s episode of \u201cMorning Wire,\u201d and all episodes of the podcast, can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/podcasts\/morning-wire\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
