The credibility of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is eroding after the agency failed to update its pandemic mask guidance, as well as recent accusations that
powerful teachers unions are dictating CDC policy in terms of school reopenings. I think the CDC’s credibility is eroding as quickly as the cases of coronavirus are eroding, said Dr. Kavita Patel, a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Obama official. That’s not good news, because, we do need workplace guidance, we need school guidance, she added in comments to
CNBC s Shephard Smith.

Kids are making up larger proportion of Covid-19 cases now, CDC says
From CNN s Maggie Fox
Children and teens are starting to make up a larger proportion of coronavirus cases now than earlier in the epidemic, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is holding a public meeting to discuss whether to recommend Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for use in youth as young as 12. The US Food and Drug Administration extended its emergency use authorization for the vaccine in 12-15-year-olds Monday.
The CDC’s Dr. Sara Oliver said children and teens are starting to account for a larger share of new coronavirus infections. “In April, 9% of cases were aged 12-17 years, which actually represents a larger proportion of cases than adults 65 and older,” she told the ACIP meeting.
