You\u2019d actually look at their system and say, okay, what if we shrank what it is that we say that we can do?\u201d he told his listeners on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/what-won-t-the-left-do-to-stop-trump-the-ben-shapiro-show-ep-1559\">The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s not what the CDC is doing,\u201d Shapiro explained. \u201cTheir argument is they need more power. Their big mistake is that they weren\u2019t forceful enough during the last pandemic. So when they say shake-up, what they mean is give us more power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walensky told CBS News that her agency needs to learn from the lessons of the pandemic and \u201cdo better.\u201d Among the suggested steps for a CDC shake-up was creating a \u201cnew office to promote equity in healthcare\u201d and developing a \u201cmore nimble workforce that can quickly respond to public health crises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC director said the agency needs \u201cto have a special forces, if you will, to deploy during pandemic times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The massive health agency currently has more than 11,000 employees and a $12 billion budget.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro lambasted the idea that the CDC needs to focus on \u201cequity in health care,\u201d saying the agency has no business promoting equity. He went on to explain that the changes the CDC wants are nothing short of a power grab coming from an agency that already used a large amount of power throughout the course of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe notion that the CDC was not active enough during this pandemic is pretty insane \u2026 it\u2019s like the Federal Reserve, the people who botched the response are the same people who are charged with fixing it,\u201d Shapiro remarked.<\/p>\n<p>The segment concluded with Shapiro reminding listeners that those in control of institutions like the CDC have completely different motives than the American people they are supposed to serve. He suggested that scientific institutions have been compromised by politics, making them ideological stalwarts and turning them away from simply telling the public about its objective findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe institution of science has brought about more progress and prosperity than any institution over the course of the last century, and yet they are continuously undermining themselves with questions of motive and injecting politics and ideology,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro warned Americans Friday that the Centers for Disease Control\u2018s (CDC) announcement of a \u201cshake-up\u201d really just mean the agency wants more power.
