Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield says the agency's reorganization is a chance to 'look in the mirror' and realize it's 'dwarfed' into an academic institution.
is, what the primary role of CDC is. Is it an academic institution or is it a public health response agency? And when it started back 75 years ago, working with the Defense Department to work on malaria, it was a public health response agency. And, one, I think it's dwarfed into, over the 75 years, is to have more of a culture of an academic institution.
Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield says it's time for the public health agency to "look in the mirror" on "Cavuto: Live" Saturday, August 20, 2022. And I think at the heart of this report and what the director has commented on, is it's really time for CDC to look in the mirror, kind of see what it's become and ask the question, 'Is its culture and structure optimized as a public health response agency or is it optimized as an academic institution?' And I think that's the heart of it. So I think it's an important first step.
