Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky only met once with parents during the entire COVID-19 pandemic to discuss school reopening policies, a newly released calendar reveals. Walensky met one time for 30 minutes with parents despite claiming multiple times the CDC had taken parents’ concerns into consideration, according to Americans for Public Trust, which obtained the calendar via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. CDC scientists and officials met with parents at various events throughout the pandemic and fielded thousands of public comments, the agency told Fox News in response to APT’s report. Fox, WSJ, NY Post, and The 74 are probably never going to let their readers know that the CDC met with parents too. pic.twitter.com/pVrwZLEPsw — Randi Weingarten ☮️🇺🇦 (@rweingarten) May 6, 2021Previously revealed emails showed that the CDC altered its school reopening guidance within days, and sometimes hours, of Walensky and other top officials communicating with teachers union officials.
