Former FDA Commissioner: Six Foot Distancing Rule Was 'Arbitrary'

Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, admitted during an interview on Face the Nation that the six foot social distancing rule recommended by public health officials for months on end was actually "Arbitrary in and of itself," and he noted that "Nobody knows where it came from."

"So the single reason why most schools remained shut was because the CDC was telling them they had to keep kids six feet apart," he said.

When the Biden administration wanted to open schools in the spring, this past spring, they got the CDC to change that guidance from six feet to three feet," Gottlieb continued, admitting the original guidance was "Arbitrary" and had unknown origins.

"The six feet was arbitrary in and of itself, nobody knows where it came from," he said.

"The initial recommendation that the CDC brought to the White House and I talk about this was 10 feet, and a political appointee in the White House said we can't recommend 10 feet."

The CDC said 10 feet, it should be 10 feet, but 10 feet was no more right than six feet and ultimately became three feet.

When it became three feet, the basis for the CDC's decision to ultimately revise it from six to three feet was a study that they had conducted the prior fall.
