the cdc is saying?> good morning, good to be with you. for 75 years, the cdc and all of the public health have been preparing for something like the seismic scope of covid-19. we need to recognize within our big moment are performance did not meet the expectations of this country which is why i called for the reset and review. we had extraordinary people at the cdc who are often up all night to protect america's health and my goal is as we hit this reset to have a new public health action oriented culture that really emphasizes as you said accountability, collaboration with our public health partners, communication with the american public and timeliness with our information. [end video clip] host: rochelle walensky on the today show. do you think it will solve the problem? guest: we will have to see. one thing that i would like to point out is that during that 75 year period, the cdc has been preparing for pandemics. we would be practicing for pandemics, largely around influenza. the cdc has been respo

--cdc from the outside. i could also say that these were challenges that i perceived as the outside, our signs needed to move faster. cdc had been long criticized for our science not moving fast enough. so how can we get things out faster? our clearance process out faster. that was something i addressed early on equity. clearly a challenge in the pandemic. and this was something that i know all of cdc actually believed in but we have this moment to do more for health equity and and actually it was one of the things that worked to boost them around most of the agency when i got there was to talk about equity to mobilize around social determinants of health around a core strategy for equity around addressing diversity inclusion within the agency and outside of it. data. i'm a data geek. so data has always been important to me. we launched the center for forecasting and outbreak analytics which was really important to think about innovation. data sources. how we can project how we can forecast how we can work w

what does that look like at the cdc? many people don't know how challenging it is for people to diverge from their day jobs and be deployed overseas for the ebola crisis or in the united states. what would it take to get the workforce where it needs to be, and how do we do that? dr. walensky: that is a very important point. 20,000 in the cdc, and most people don't know that during most of our pandemic response, we had 2500 are deployed to hotspots, so that is 25% of the agency at any given time that was working. that means two things. one is they had to be deployed. agreed to be deployed. nothing else stopped because they were deployed and the response. what we have to do i think as an agency is make sure that there is a vote for everybody in our agency and the response. i call them unsung hero calls. i call heroes who maybe have not been seen or heard for the work they are doing, but somebody booked all the flights for people that deployed, up all night booking flights all night long. that person was deployed, right? we

i practice ignoring the cdc.s pandemic to control the lives of tens of millions of americans. in really bad ways. children who will never be the same because of mask mandates. people who lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates. people, you know, the crushing of the economy. the loss of trust in public health is catastrophic and i agree with howie. changing or reorganizing the cdc does nothing even close to approaching what needs to be done to restore that trust. >> some of those were state decisions, right? >> sure. but public health, the larger public health architecture did so much to destroy trust and i think a really full admission of how much damage they caused is necessary to even begin the path toward destroying trust. >> bret: i'm trying to be devil's advocate here, amy. did they save hundreds of thousands, millions of lives? did their guidance in the toughest part of the pandemic, was it somehow safety oriented for the population? right now district schools in, for example, philadelphia are starting

and it's not the cdc.pandemic had to deal with a lot of really strong politicization of not only the pandemic but the science in terms of people saying oh, don't get the vaccine or masking doesn't work the cdc going back and forth and president trump says it's like a common cold. it will be gone in two weeks. cdc just didn't handle this very well he? have to be better at communication and messaging. this idea that they are somehow to be, you know, a piÑata, i just -- i find that in they. but, again, it's being politicized. >> bret: mollie? >> well, there is a point that it wasn't just the cdc that messed up how we responded to the pandemic. people were unwise to take their guidance. particularly because, as morgan notes their guidance was contradictory. it wasn't rooted in fact. politicians have to -- it's easy to say the cdc says this so we are going to shut down the entire economy. we are going to shut down schools that can never happen again. i think it's good that the cdc understands that they have com

most importantly, we don't want to have the cdc, people have no trust in the cdc. we don't want that, but unfortunately that's where we are today. as a governor, i was on those calls with the cdc director, with the white house. we'd hear one thing on the phone and something totally different would happen. we had to buckle down and make our decisions. we kind of listened to what they said. okay, i hear you, but this is what we are seeing on the ground. i think overall governors did a very, very good job, at least in the red states. i can't speak for some of those blue states with all the excessive lockdowns. because, again, they kept doing whatever the white house and the cdc was telling them one week and then shifting the next week, eroding trust with what should be a really responsibility branch of government. >> you talked about children earlier. the cdc is also out with new covid guidelines for schools, just as kids head back to the classrooms. they no longer recommend routine testing for grades k-12 unless community transmission is high. do you support that cha

i would like to walk you through the data cdc is releasing today. data as of august 20 third showed that over 207,000 doses of vaccine have been administered in these 19 jurisdictions. it demonstrates the vast majority of doses administered, nearly 97% our first doses with consistent week over week increases in vaccination. while we are encouraged by the scale up, there are many people eligible for second doses and very few administered so far are recorded as second doses. i would like to take this moment to emphasize this is a two dose vaccine and it is important to receive the second dose in the series. i encourage providers to highlight the importance so all acts need people optimize protection from the vaccine. that administration data also shows that among the first doses given, a majority of recipients have been adults 25 to 39 with 53% of first doses ministered in this age group so far. the majority of first dose recipients, 92% have been male and 6% have been administered to women. regrettably, we at cdc are not receiving data by gender and

as far as trust in the cdc. i was watching what was happening in the world and their response to covid specifically south korea. hydroxychloroquine helps to get the zinc into your cells and if you get it into your cells it helps protect yourselves from covid attaching and attacking yourselves in the first place. the cdc came up with hydrochloroquine to fight malaria. it is a safe drug. i printed out a two-page right up on it. it was touting how safe it was and how many people were taking it. guest: i would just say that the preponderance of evidence is clear that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment for covid-19. there is not a specific recommendation for zinc as a treatment but many people use that. in terms of south korea, their success was not because of hydroxychloroquine, they had masking strategies and social distancing and they coupled that with vaccination. there are lessons to be learned from countries around the world and that is what we need to be doing. host: to silver creek, georgia. thi

walensky from cdc, do you want to add to that? >> i will just say that still now, having cases or even exposures in children is relatively rare. we investigate those and we want to make sure they have vaccine available to them, but again, those are generally pretty rare, and those case investigations are ongoing, but oftentimes we see them having contact or prior contact with somebody in the more affected community. >> last question from cbs news. >> can you hear me? thanks for taking my question. just following up about the jurisdictions that are already doing that first dose strategy, what does this new authorization mean for people who got the first dose but essentially missed their second? and separately, can you clarify what is expected to change about eligibility of this vaccine now that we have more supply? >> thank you. do we want to start with fda on that? >> i will answer this pretty quick. if you got your first dose subcutaneous, the second dose can be given intradermally, and that is our recommendation. just make it si

most importantly we do not want to have the cdc people have no trust in the cdc but we do not want that in portland that is where we are today. as a governor is on the cause of the cdc director roma calls with the white house, would hear one thing on the phone, something totally different would happen next week. mass confusion. as the governors during the height of the pandemic, we really had to buckle down and do it was good for our citizens make our citizens but we kind up listen to what they said i hear you but this is what we are seeing on the ground we had to make decisions for our citizens but overall governors did a very, very good job or at least in the red states. i cannot speak for some the blue states with the excessive lockdowns because again they kept doing whatever the white house and the cdc was telling them one week on shifting the next leg eroding trust with what should be a really responsive branch of government. >> we talked about children earlier the cdc out new covid guidelines for schools justice kids are back to the classrooms prayer they no longer recommend routi

if you are asking me if i trust the cdc? there is no way i trust the cdc because of what they put out. guest: on the first issue of fda approving particular drugs. i agree that hydroxychloroquine should have received authorization. in terms of preventing severe illness, vaccines are the best that we have. there is a terrific track record there in terms of preventing severe illness. there are other factors, these cloth based mass are not doing much of anything. n95 masks are important. in terms of the trust of these federal agencies, i don't think any agency has gotten everything right. when you look retrospectively, i am sure there are a lot of things these agencies would've done differently. at their core, these agencies have public servants that are trying to do the right thing. we have to make sure we don't lose faith in these agencies. most of the time, they get things right sometimes they get things wrong. i do agree with you that there is a trust problem and we need to work on that. i think that is something with the a

-- why would the cdc do that? there is a concern here due to the worker shortage or political interference? why would they tell people to return to work if there's no way they'd actually have cleared the virus within a short period of time? >> well, there definitely was a worker shortage. but i think when we have that happen, we have to be very clear. we can say to people we think you're still shedding some virus and that's why we're telling you to wear a mask. accrued indication that you're still shredding virus is your antigen test. so we're really not using the tools that we have to ensure americans can both survive and then thrive. and we do have tools. we have so many better tools now. >> i raised political interference because as you know during the trump administration, and you felt some of this, that was one of the criticisms. but when it comes to the cdc advice, if you go through it, people may forget, we had field hospitals in the middle of central park and refrigerator trucks moving dead bodies.pwe'v. b

one of the cdc's harshest critics with this. >> like so many things in the cdc, the left has misdiagnosed the problem and they will misapply the solution. it wasn't that they acted too sparingly. the problem was they acted too quickly and not based on science. they were reacting every week with a new edict that contradicted the previous week. they became obsessed and thought they knew the truth. >> harris: chaotic mixed messages on everything, mask, vaccines, schools, booster. the impact of all that. confusion, panic, distrust, social and economic devastation. >> although we're seeing progress in terms of it. hospitalizations and deaths, variants are a wild card. we plan to be transparent in terms of the administration numbers. people want to understand the decision and have it not move but my responsibility to the american people and to populations and to individual patients is to deliver the best information that i have at the time and sometimes that has changed. >> harris: dr. marc siegel in "focus." we'll begin with peter doocy live from wilmington, delaware. peter. >> there were a lo

walensky the director of the cdc asked for this review of the cdc. i think that review was very well-done it laid out areas where the cdc needs to improve, and the bottom line is that she's committed to making those changes, and i think that's really important to your broader question, yeah, you know, our government agencies weren't designed to manage a once in a century crisis like this i think while many of them performed admirably there's no question in my mind that these agencies could have done better >> if i can let me turn to the vaccines now. we've been told a dual strain version if you will covering older variants as well as omicron may be ready in just a few weeks. who will be the first in line? is this essentially going to be a third booster? >> yeah, you know, lester, here's why the fda has pushed us to build these vaccines the bottom line is that this virus has evolved substantially since the first vaccines were built. this is why we've seen waning immunity. the vaccines coming in a few short weeks are specifically designed for the virus

would you saying would you include cdc in that? you know, i don't know what the cdc was thinking at that time, but i can tell you that they did not prepare the country for a a country-wide pandemic that was evident already in china. and what do i mean by that getting up the data streams that you needed bringing in the commercial laboratory developers, you know, it's great that they worked on tasks for the public health lab, but we all know public health labs. they're not what we call high throughput laboratories the platforms that they made the tests for were in general platforms. that could do a handful or less than a hundred tests a day. we were going to need millions of tests a day so we had to bring on board our commercial laboratories until nancy messi'' a made that comment the end of february. i i don't know. i haven't saw our audience knows senior official at cdc. yes, so in nancy said she was worried but that was the end of february. i was worried in six weeks earlier so i don't i wasn't here i didn't watch it play out. i i

especially about the cdc.n you're talking about what has happened at the cdc and their response to the coronavirus, it seems they put politics before people in right now what you're hearing and what they want to redo is revamp the communications department, which again, if not a policy issue for them, it is a communication issue, it is something you here across the biden administration. i remember one questioningly cdc made you a tin hat conspiracy theorist, so the first step to recovery is admitting there's a problem. it's good to see the cdc is doing this. i just don't think they're actually going to meet the moment and make the changes that are needed so that the american people can begin to trust the cdc again. >> shannon: david, that's the problem across to goodman's rations, people have repeatedly been super frustrated with the cdc, confusing guidance, changing guidance, changing back guidance. so in addition to what they are saying about working up to medications, they also say this. politico says the a

our plan is to update these data on a weekly basis on the cdc website. it's important to note that the data we're releasing today reflect only 19 jurisdictions where data are flowing to c. d. c. forysis but the data do provide us with an insight and understanding of where we are in our efforts to administer vaccine to those at risk were actively collaborating with the remaining jurisdictions so that they can upload their data in response to our data use agreements. now i'd like to walk you through the vaccine administration data. cdc is releasing today data as of august 23 show that over 207,000 doses of vaccine have been administered in these 19 jurisdictions. the data demonstrate that the vast majority of doses administered nearly 97%. our first doses with consistent week over week increases in vaccinations. while we are encouraged by the scale up, there are many people eligible for second doses and very few of the doses administered so far are recorded as second doses. i'd like to take this moment to emphasize that this is a two dose vaccine and it's

what is cdc doing to ensure the issues of equity are built into everything that cdc does?e is an office being built, but what will that do and how will we ensure that with the next crisis everyone will have what they need to be protected? >> do you think the agency lost its way? yeah, i don't think use the phrase lost its way. i think it is too late it change the narrative around covid. it is not too late to change how the cdc is perceived in response to monkeypox, to polio, to whatever the next crisis will be. it was very challenging for cdc to be in a role at the beginning of covid where public health recommendations were not the drivers for the governmental response. and i don't think the agency has recovered from that. i also don't think the agency has recovered from the chronic underinvestment in public health that the federal, state and local level. and as dr. walensky lays out, there are certain things that congress needs to change if we want cdc to be the kind of agency that it needs to be. one of those is cdc has to be able to require states to report when there i

according to the cdc they will have large-scale, cultural and operational changes to modernize the cdcem adaptable, faster on the ball, to implement two new internal systems, policies, to enhance communication, accountability, set up new governance structures, share findings and data faster. i think that word faster, hallie, is going to be key because, again, some of the response, the criticism was, was just too low, it lagged behind. and also to translate science to easy to understand policies and develop workforce for future emergencies. and again, you go back to the statement by walensky that they were basically preparing for the unknown, for a pandemic, for covid-19, they now have a name and face for it, but they've been preparing for that for decades and again, the structures they had in place just weren't enough. there was a sense there was too much focus on science and research, which is so critical to the work of the cdc, but not the response time. now the question, hallie, becomes how quickly will they be able to implement these changes? again, even what i just read, pretty br

you know, i mean folks on both sides of the aisle have criticized cdc buth it's not just them. sometimes the biden administration has used them to roll out some of their most extreme policies like the mandates. but scott gottlieb well respected former trump administration fda commissioner has spoken out and sid this is redfield said, if anything it ought to be a response agency but the things their talking about the diversity office reorganizing the communications office isn't going to change anything not at all. >> that's the real rub here. isaac i well you into the conversation but before we do i want to share a montage of let's call them mixed messages. >> the voltage number of new infections continue to be among people not vaccinated. >> we continue to be prepared for any and every scenario including the possibility of booster shots. at this time the cdc and fda say americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot. >> we want to give people a break from things like mask wearing when these metrics are better. >> you hear you all that coming back and forth

what does the biden administration went to see it comes to the cdc and the fda specifically? guest: we will wait and see. they haven't officially announced they are doing a internal review. i think the fda is the same way but i want to also make a point that we talk about this federal leadership and coordination that is required but there is a flipside. you can have the best federal response but if you don't have that complementary states and local public health infrastructure which we have under invested in, that response to those frontline workers, if they don't have the data and the workforce, if the capabilities are there to do surveillance or testing, scenes or interventions, we won't see the optimal responses to any of these challenges and in this country, we have under invested in that state and local public infrastructure. we are at a $13 per capital -- r annual gap -- $13 per capita annual gap -- host: what is an example of a state doing that well and not doing it well? guest: states who do it well, they have the ability, whether it is a pandemic or the opioid, diffe

fell short. >> let's remind ourselves that the director of the cdc asked for this review of the cdc.hink that review was very well done. it laid out areas where the cdc needs to improve, and the bottom line is that she is committed to making those changes and i think that is really important. our government agencies weren't designed to manage a once in a century crisis like this. i think while many of them performed admirably there is no question in my mind that these agencies could have done better. >> and pretty broad terms dr. wilensky laid out a plan to improve the agency. she says it needs to start prioritizing public health instead of focusing so much time on publishing academic papers. she didn't give many specifics but the cdc director did acknowledge that leadership changes are coming. >>> shoppers continue to open their wallets last month as they weathered high inflation. according to new data from the commerce department, overall retail sales were flat in july from the prior month. but when you take out auto and fuel sales, retail sales actually jumped 0.7%. one big reason
