As the Covid pandemic has slowly come to a close in the United States and abroad, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky has stepped down from her position, multiple sources have reported.
The White House confirmed Walensky’s resignation on Friday when Joe Biden issued the following statement:
“Dr. Walensky has saved lives with her steadfast and unwavering focus on the health of every American. As Director of the CDC, she led a complex organization on the frontlines of a once-in-a-generation pandemic with honesty and integrity. She marshalled our finest scientists and public health experts to turn the tide on the urgent crises we’ve faced.”
According to the Washington Examiner, Walensky served as director of the CDC for just over two years, and she is slated to officially step down on June 30.
In an official press release from the CDC, Walensky announced her initial departure, writing to Joe Biden, “The end of the COVID-19 public health emergency marks a tremendous transition for our country, for public health, and in my tenure as CDC Director. I took on this role, at your request, with the goal of leaving behind the dark days of the pandemic and moving CDC – and public health – forward into a much better and more trusted place.”
She claimed that under her leadership, “we saved and improved lives and protected the country and the world from the greatest infectious disease threat we have seen in over 100 years.”
Walensky’s exit from the CDC comes as Americans have become increasingly disenchanted with the CDC’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
RSBN reported last week that former White House advisor Peter Navarro made remarks on Patrick Bet-David’s PBD Podcast that Big Pharma executives and former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci had been overtly deceptive about the true makeup of the Covid vaccines.
He said that had Fauci and other medical officials been forthcoming about the makeup and origination of the virus itself, “We could have pressured the Chinese to give us the genome sequence which would have allowed us to design an effective vaccine rather than the crap we wound up getting.”
