2020-03-07 | Trump’s CDC Director Has a History of Controversial Opinions on Controlling Viruses – Mother Jones

'It’s what’s changed the availability of testing overnight.”That Trump overturned a previous FDA rule to allow for easier testing does not appear to be true. '

'From the start of his administration, Trump has struggled to fill top positions with qualified candidates; the world of people who can do a particular job and who show enough personal or political loyalty is often quite small. '

'Critics say that even as CDC officials have worked towards improving the agency’s handling of the current outbreak, Redfield has enabled Trump’s politicization of the government’s response. '

'But as the CDC, the central agency in charge of public health, struggles to get a handle on key messaging and coronavirus testing efforts, the credentials of its director Robert Redfield are in the spotlight. '

'He advocated quarantining infected soldiers, spreading their diagnosis across the chain of command with little concern for their privacy, and investigating their sexual histories. '
