She was began leading the agency on January 20, 2021. Prior to taking the high-level Biden administration job, Walensky was the top infectious diseases expert at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n<p>Jha, who was named to his current position in April, is also a former Harvard professor.<\/p>\n<p>The response on Twitter came swiftly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to POTUS, Dr. Jha is \u201cbasically running the CDC\u201d these days,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidzweig\/status\/1539732341492416513?s=20&#038;t=Q8I2oPKT3g7-8Vdlt0iF-w\">tweeted Fox News contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier<\/a>. \u201cIf the WH advisor controls the CDC, what role does Dr. Walensky have? Does the CDC have any apolitical leadership anymore? FYI, lowering the facemask negates any effect it may have.\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes this mean that Jha is \u201cbasically\u201d running the CDC for the president, or is this a giant gaffe?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texanconstitut1\/status\/1539437566746935296?s=20&#038;t=Q8I2oPKT3g7-8Vdlt0iF-w\">tweeted TexasConstitutionalist<\/a>. \u201cWell, either way, it\u2019s horrible in its implications. And, I suppose, either way, it\u2019s still a giant gaffe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The incident occurred when Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited a Washington, D.C., vaccination clinic where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-boasts-as-infants-as-young-as-six-months-now-cleared-for-covid-vaccines\">children from six months to age 5 are now being vaccinated for COVID<\/a>. Walensky endorsed the new guidelines, although other nations are not vaccinating infants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very historic milestone,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThe United States is now the first country in the world to offer safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was not the first time Biden has gotten confused about key members of his administration. In 2020, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-joe-biden-announces-name-of-his-chosen-hhs-chief\">botched Xavier Becerra\u2019s name<\/a>\u00a0and title when introducing him as his choice for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Secretary of Health and Education Services, I nominate Xavier Bacheria,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/critics-slam-biden-after-he-appears-to-forget-name-of-defense-secretary-pentagon-hes-not-there\">Biden seemed to forget the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin<\/a> while introducing him at a White House event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the sec\u2026 the, the former general,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI keep calling him general, but my, my\u2026 the guy who runs that outfit over there. I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he\u2019s done to try to implement what we just talked about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden appeared to demote his Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Tuesday in a humiliating snub caught on video.
