it is a structural week this that the cdc -- weakness that the cdc is not there. hhs and congress and advocacy groups are in the kind of force needed. there are a few ways to do that. bottom line is, you have to show up and you have to be there. hundreds of trips don't replace having high level staff there, getting to know people. when the director mentioned in the past quarter he has had lunch with every single congressional staff member on one of the committees that authorized or funded it, that is one center but i haven't on that. no one at cdc has done that for the agency as a whole and that is the kind of thing that has made it. >> you can think about this on multiple levels. when i started as cdc director, the washington office was in the hump rebuilding and a decision was made without consultation that perhaps the cdc should be moved someplace else. so it was moved to co-locate with the headquarters, which is a few blocks away. but a few blocks away from the hump rebuilding, you might as well be on a remote island. for some time we were able to maintain a p

the cdc does not have that. we need to be able to give them the tools if we want them to move as quickly as i think we all do. and finally back to your point about budget, the cdc's budget issues in 13 different treasury accounts, 160 different specific lines. they do not have these flexibility to move things around. we have asked in this report for congress to consider a real change in the way that they provide budget flexibility as to the cdc. i think that the director walensky has called for this a number of times in the last year, and that final part of that is making sure that the cdc has the flexibility that it needs at the start of the crisis. there is certainly a fund that was created for that purpose but has not been provided resources for the cdc to do that work so at the beginning of any crisis the cdc finds itself having a real struggle to spend money that the need to to get out of the field. that's a very quick wrap up of the different categories and recommendations that we made in the report and ho

do you listen to the cdc? you know, one cdc official i talked to said it's not just the lack of information. i at times there was also too much information like that. some of their guidance was sold. like if you looked at some of the guidance for schools, it was like a school superintendent was supposed to be able interpret this incredibly complicated information and this. official basically said, you know, i think we a bad job we should be gave way, too much information. we should have you know, we gave it at the level of like what a would need to know instead of what the average person would need to know. that's really interesting to know. and there's also a good amount like the section on federalism in the book is really valuable in playing with. i mean we we've looked a little bit at preemption of local initiatives across a lot areas really, you know, state preempting labor laws, lgbt protections, environmental laws that local communities have have passed as a like. that's a real right now american politic

we are joined now by cdc director dr. rochelle walensky.ack. >> thanks much for having me. geoff: you've said the cdc failed to respond quickly enough to the pandemic and that the agent the was responsible for some pretty dramatic public mistakes, from testing to data sharing to communications. >> i feel like our responsibility is to be the public health agency of the future and to be prepared for every health emergency that we. we've done a huge amount of work within the agency -- you mentioned reorganization, but much more work than that, including increasing the rapidity at which we get science out. how the science gets out, how we communicate it and how quickly we are able to communicate it and then really being a response based agency where we've always been known as an academic science based agency, but we also need to be a response based agency where we're ready to respond. so much of the work that we're doing within the agency is critically important. but we also really need help from congress to be all that we can be in public heal

question is does cdc have the data that is being asked of us?te, we rely on data coming in from 3000 counties and jurisdictions 64 states and our , territories and 574 tribes, and th all report the those data voluntarily. often those data are not standardized. and in fact, with the end of the public health emergency for covid specifically, we will lose the receipt as much of the data that people are traditionally used to seeing from the cdc. and that's another place where we are asking for congressional support to help with those data authorities so we can standardize the data, receive the data and then importantly, feed it back to the american people and feed it back to those jurisdictions so they know what's happening around them. geoff: is there a way to insulate the cdc from partisan influence, from the political whimof the day? dr. walensky: you know, so much of what we need to do is foundational in the science that we deliver, and yet we need to understand the dialogue of the policies around us and recognize that health is not in a vacuum.

for more on this, robert redfield, former cdc director and senior medical adviser. thank you for joining us, dr. redfield. big questions how we are going to treat this going forward. if the emergency is over are, why are we still, the cdc, telling families to vaccinate their young children? the world health organization has deemed it unnecessary. >> sandra, i think it's an important point. i think the who recommendations i think are very thoughtful and i think it highlights some of the science that we do know that the current vaccines really don't stop transmission of covid-19 and so the purpose of using them and the reason they were approved is they can impact the disease that occurs as a consequence of infection, but since most of us under the age of 50 that don't have a significant comorbidity, i'm one who believes the vaccines should be prioritized for the vulnerable, those of us over age 60, 65, those of us that have significant comorbidity, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, so i concur with what who has done just to emphasize there is not strong public health s

it was very unusual because in the past, as i head of cdc and china's cdc, we could agree that i would would come in and help. but he told me that i wasn't allowed to give me permission. i had to write a request. i did. that request was never answered. i did ask the president to request that we could come in to president xi and he did make the phone calls in the first i think ten days of january. again, the request was denied. we were not allowed in. a big mistake, a big loss. again, i want to make a point that this is not just china. this is basically the united states, the european scientists and china. so when people want to say it's all china, no, it was the united states scientific community, it was the european scientific community and it was china all involved in this research that i believe led to the greatest pandemic of our time. >> wow. extraordinary story and a lot to dog in to here and we're going to keep doing it. thanks, dr. redfield. good to have you here, sir. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: the united states, europe and china all doing research that led to the biggest g
