    NEW: The loss of credibility in CDC has sent morale to all-time low. “The worst is the silence,” one scientist said. “You can’t explain what’s going on, correct mistakes, clarify things quickly before they spin up and out of control.” Me + @joelachenbachhttps://wapo.st/30hUXkC

        1/ Career staff at CDC remain proud of the expertise, talent and professionalism that the agency can bring to bear in a crisis. But they see the agency’s situation clearly.

        2/The CDC has endured false accusations and interference by Trump administration political appointees, leading to loss of institutional credibility at a time when the nation desperately needs to know whom to trust.

        3/ CDC Director Robert Redfield has been publicly criticized by President Trump + his now-favored pandemic adviser, Scott Atlas, who has said pandemic fears are overblown.

        4/ A CDC epidemiologist on the political interference in the agency: "I never would have expected the level of political interference we're seeing now. It's so sad."

        5/ Within CDC, some say problems could be reversed with a different director. Some experts like @doritmi say CDC leadership should be a board like Federal Reserve.

        That agency needs to be abolished in its entirety.

        Rank & file civil servants in every agency are just trying to survive during the Trump sh*tshow. Direct your anger at the unqualified political hacks put in charge of them. Like👇pic.twitter.com/X3gaDg04MJ

        It’s true. As a citizen I’m puzzled by the CDC and I have lost ALL confidence in them as an agency ever since trump and his administration has made them puppets.

        I honestly think that if my employer were turned into a political tool, a tool that necessitated invalidating my work and truth itself, I would resign, and I don’t understand why everyone hasn’t very publicly walked out already.
