OTOH, you've also dinged CDC more than once for failing to update guidelines when updates were needed. Whatever internal inertia kept that from happening may still be there -- and may be one reason staff now are reluctant to let initial best guesses out the door.

Why are they delaying, after promising info for the vaccinated on Thursday? Losing credibility. This is Joe Biden's CDC. I don't understand.

EVERY article or book on crisis communication I've ever read emphasizes the importance of officials getting the truth out there RAPIDLY because if they are slow to speak then others will shape public perceptions before they get a chance to do so.
