The country’s leading health agency most recent advice to reopen the country has been put on ice by the Trump administration
But for some time now, the Trump administration has been quieting an agency that, in the past, had been out front giving both the public and localities necessary health and science information. But now, in the midst of one of the worst pandemics our country has seen in more than a century, “the CDC has not had a regular, pandemic-related news briefing in nearly two months,” according to the AP.
On Wednesday, Garrett spoke to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and continued to sound the alarm about the silencing of the CDC, calling it a “tragedy.” “So, now here we have the biggest epidemic the country has faced in the modern era, and the CDC is radio silent. Instead of daily briefings every single day, which we were accustomed to, for example, when Ebola was spread in West Africa, we’re hearing nada, nothing,” Garrett said.
