Dr. Scott Jensen Fox News
Dr. Scott criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Thursday, telling “The Ingraham Angle” that people need to look at the organization differently due to its ineffective coronavirus response.
“The CDC has been around since the 1940s and its original intent was to help against malaria. But through steady mission creep, they’ve become something they were never intended to be,” Jensen said. “And for certain, it’s a political organization.”
Jensen blamed the CDC for hindering the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic saying they had “bungled the testing right out of the blocks.”
“But what was even worse than that was once they realized they bungled it, instead of looking to someone who was already moving forward and getting some help,” Jensen said. “Epidemiologist Larry Brilliant made the comment that they should have just swallowed their pride, reached out to Germany, and use their testing. But instead, the CDC kept us mired down.”
The CDC disclosed Thursday that they are combining the result of viral and antibody coronavirus tests, possibly skewing the overall positivity rate.
