Two weeks ago, an independent CDC advisory panel voted 16-2 to recommend a Pfizer COVID-19 booster shot for all Americans aged 65 and over and for high-risk individuals with underlying conditions. This decision delivered a blow to President Joe Biden, who had hoped to see the recommendation include all frontline workers.
Last week, ABC News reported that Walensky overruled this decision “in a notable departure by adding a recommendation for a third dose for people who are considered high risk due to where they work, such as nurses and teachers — a group which the panel rejected in its recommendation. Some panelists said that without further data, they weren’t comfortable with automatically including younger people because of their jobs.”

I've read the quote twice, then clicked the link and read the article...
Am I missing something?
The CDC can suck a fat one but I don't see anything about firearms here?
Walensky now has our Second Amendment rights in her crosshairs. She will tackle gun violence in America, which she considers to be an epidemic.
The CDC director signaled her intentions during a late August interview with CNN, when she labeled gun violence a “serious public health threat.”
“Something has to be done about this,” she told CNN. “Now is the time — it’s pedal to the metal time.”
“Among several other gun research projects, the CDC is now providing funding to 10 state health departments so they can start collecting data in near-real time on emergency room nonfatal firearm injuries. This will allow doctors and epidemiologists to potentially identify trends and craft swift interventions, as they have done to contain the coronavirus pandemic and other national health emergencies.”

“The scope of the problem is just bigger than we’re even hearing about, and when your heart wrenches every day you turn on the news, you’re only hearing the tip of the iceberg,” Walensky said. “We haven’t spent the time, energy, and frankly the resources to understand this problem because it’s been so divided.”

All the CDCP does is warn people about what could kill them. Have they prevented any diseases?
(CDCP is too close to CCP isn't it.)

Maybe the CDC should stick to medicine and leave our
Constitutional rights alone.
I was reminded that they're not good at medicine either.
They seem to be good at killing though through these so
called "vaccines".

Yup, way to close. I wonder if the dude in charge will wear his leotards and skirt to the next bs meeting they have. The photo was a real eye sore for many.

My post from a few months ago backs up your OP. Includes an article from CNN, 28 August 2021.

Its always the same story with these folk.. Walensky got a taste for power, now wants more. This woman is a ridiculous and spiteful shrew.
