Re: CDC recommendations.
CDC/FDA seem to be totally unprepared for the modern information warfare. They have virus specialists who are trained to follow conservative pathways to approved products. Then, they make public policy decisions based seemingly on their intuition. I never saw any public policy or psychology experts involved. It is not just early in the pandemic (like do not wear masks to not confuse people), or even not early in new tenure (Walensky declaring in spring that it is almost over). I listened to FDA discussion between gov personnel and questions they were asking advisory panel. It was pathetic, there was no preparation, FDA was pulling ideas out of their sleeve, they obviously never talked to these doctors in advance. At the same time, advisory panel took their job seriously and delivered reasonable results. There are lots of “leaks” and now books complaining how Trump/Warp speed “overrruled” CDC – and rightfully so, in my opinion.
