The president’s willingness to push back against CDC scientists brought renewed criticism that Trump is putting politics over safety and science.
President Donald Trump’s attack on his own health experts’ guidance for safely reopening schools cracked open for public display a power struggle within the administration that has been building for months.
Public health leaders who worked at the CDC under prior presidents said they had never seen anything like this week’s open discord. Those signals can impair the guidance and the White House coronavirus task force itself, the experts said. Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the White House coronavirus task force, said on Thursday new documents would be issued next week supplementing the original guidelines. He had previously cited those same plans at a press conference earlier in the week.
The CDC’s school reopening guidelines, first published in May, were part of a larger battery of recommendations for reopening the country safely that had previously received scrutiny and approval from the task force. Administration officials had labeled earlier versions "overly prescriptive" after reports that they shelved guidance.
“It is a scientific organization that functions best as an apolitical agency trusted to guide the strategy of our nation to be healthier and safer,” noted the letter, signed by groups representing the nation’s pediatricians and state health officers. “We must amplify the unfettered voice of CDC, not stifle it.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Trump ally, wants to see instruction five days per week, which his education department required this week via an emergency order. Localities are still weighing their options as the state sees a surge in coronavirus cases.
