CDC isn't omniscient, but I remain at a loss how non-infect. dis./non-public hlth MD & AEI Fellow Scott Gottlieb making Sun. news rounds is helpful in public understanding abt COVID policy beyond vaccine regs/FDA matters. Headlines hype his old title, but not relevant here.

He’s one of my most trusted sources. As someone who leans righter than the rest of the public health crowd, I’m really glad his voice is out there.

He’s brilliant, has stayed deeply involved in public health, and has a better understanding of the private sector’s role in moving through the crisis.
