"We need to face the question, do we want – and I sure hope we do – do we want a standardized nationwide public health data system," said former CDC Director William Roper. "We spend literally three to five hundred times less on our health defense that we do on our military defense and yet no war in American history has killed a million people as COVID has in the past two years," said former CDC Director Tom Frieden.
Current Director Walensky defended the CDC, saying in its 75-year history it has never had to make decisions so quickly.
