... [+]Paul Alexander, an HHS scientific adviser who the department said was leaving this week, criticized CDC Deputy Director Anne Schuchat overin which she said there is “way too much virus across the country” and recommended mask-wearing.
Alexander wrote in a two-page critique of her interview that Schuchat’s “aim is to embarrass the president” and incorrectly claimed she was wrong about coronavirus risks, writing “the risk of death in children 0-19 years of age is basically 0 … PERIOD … she has lied.” Alexander called Schuchat “duplicitous” in an email to top HHS spokesperson Michael Caputo and asked him to “remind” her that during the swine flu outbreak in 2009, thousands of Americans had died “under her work.”
Other emails show Caputo repeatedly scolded CDC communications staff, often including CDC Director Robert Redfield, in disputes about media interviews.from the department this week, days after he lambasted CDC scientists in a bizarre Facebook video.to revise and delay the CDCs Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports to make the administration’s pandemic response look better. There has been friction between the CDC and the White House for months.
