On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky saying the agency needs to be overhauled by arguing that the agency’s problem wasn’t that they were too slow and didn’t act enough, the problem was that they “thought they knew the truth, they were so adamant that they knew the truth that they were going to tell everybody what to do and what to wear, and that was their mistake, was a lack of humility.”
Paul said, “Well, they say part of the road to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. So, I guess they have now admitted they have a problem. But like so many things at the CDC, the left has misdiagnosed the problem and they’re going to misapply the solution. It wasn’t that they acted too sparingly. The problem was that they acted too quickly and not based on science. It wasn’t that they were waiting around for science, they were reacting every week with a new edict that contradicted the previous week’s edict.” Breitbart.com
Great clip from @RandPaul explaining the CDC’s multiple failures, from masking to mandates to denying natural immunity:
