"We should remind Mr. Navarro that the CDC is a federal agency part of the administration. The CDC director is an appointed position, and Dr. Redfield was appointed by President Trump. If there is criticism of the CDC, ultimately Mr. Navarro is being critical of the president and the man who President Trump placed to lead the agency."

"This administration has shown time and time again that it has a problem with science. We are giving them science and they don't seem to want it."

(CNN)A senior official from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday offered a pointed rebuke of White House trade adviser Peter Navarro's scathing criticism of the top health agency in the latest sign of growing tension between the CDC and the White House.

"We should remind Mr. Navarro that the CDC is a federal agency part of the administration. The CDC director is an appointed position, and Dr. (Robert) Redfield was appointed by President (Donald) Trump," the official told CNN.
"If there is criticism of the CDC, ultimately Mr. Navarro is being critical of the President and the man who President Trump placed to lead the agency."

5. I'm glad the CDC responded.

It seems like some people at the CDC are getting more assertive.

6. They should be. This administration is trying to discredit it along with the WHO

and the U.S. is the only country who will not participate with the global community in working toward a vaccine or treatment

It will take years to undo the damage this degenerate administration and republicans in congress have done to our country
