The Wall Street has a new exclusive story about the incoming head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, and her plans to greatly increase vaccination rates and restore faith in the agency.
Dr. Walensky has an impressive background: the recent head of infectious diseases at Mass General, one of the top teaching hospitals in the US, where she was also a member of state advisory panels on Covid policy. Some questioned her elevation due to her lack of public health or CDC experience. Walensky said she was surprised to get the nod and assumed her outsider status was a big reason why.
