What's this?

The CDC was never intended to be a public facing


Institution. The continual missteps there have eroded most folks view of the organization as a credible watchdog or overseer of the crisis. Many businesses heavily relied on CDC guidance in 2020 and 2021.

But those days are mostly gone. Many private companies I work with have altogether eliminated the CDC as the beacon of light as far as Covid.

Not necessarily the CDCs fault as again they are not used to being the public and media focal point and having to give public statements, press conferences, etc.
