New CDC Director Refuses To Admit COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates And School Closures Were A Mistake

New CDC director refuses to admit COVID-19 vaccine mandates and school closures were a mistake.

In her first appearance before Congress, the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Mandy Cohen, defended COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other policies put in place during the pandemic before she took over the agency.

Dr. Cohen replaces Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who advocated for school closures, masks and COVID-19 vaccines during her time as CDC director.

Dr. Cohen, who previously served as the health secretary of North Carolina, was asked by Representative Jeff Duncan if she regretted any of the numerous controversial policies implemented there during her tenure, such as school closures.

Representative Dan Crenshaw pointed out that Dr. Cohen could help the CDC regain some of the credibility it lost over its handling of the pandemic, telling her: "If the CDC wants its credibility back, you've got to have a mea culpa moment. You're in the perfect position to do it, because you had nothing to do with their decisions at the time. So there's no reason to defend it."

She remained steadfast in her refusal to admit that the CDC did anything wrong or that any of the measures she supported in North Carolina have proven to be short-sighted.

She said the CDC is confident these infections can be attributed to known pathogens such as respiratory syncytial virus, the flu, and a bacterium that can infect lungs known as mycoplasma.
