CDC’s Walensky parries Republican criticism over Biden’s Covid response
GOP lawmakers took predictable shots at CDC Director Rochelle Walensky during one of their last opportunities to question her before she leaves government.
WASHINGTON — One of the very last duties of one of President Biden’s very first pandemic response officials was to spend two hours deflecting Republican criticisms of how she did her job.
GOP lawmakers took predictable shots at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky over her comments about whether Covid-19 vaccines prevent transmission of the disease, how much influence teachers’ unions had over guidance for protocols in schools, and the agency’s data collection practices. House Republicans had been asking Walensky to testify for two months.
