Will There Be a Mass Exodus at CDC as Wuhan Lab Leak Reports Gain Strength?

CDC’s deputy director Anne Schuchat has announced she is retiring after 33 years with the agency. In a public statement, Schuchat said she is pursuing retirement with hopes that she will have “more time for creative passions.”

She is the second high-ranking CDC official to resign in the past week, with senior health expert Nancy Messonnier announcing her departure to join the nonprofit Skoll Foundation.

The CDC has come under intense scrutiny recently as it waffled on its mask guidelines throughout the pandemic and particularly in recent months and weeks. However, it was already under fire after former CDC director Robert Redfield told major media in March 2021 that he believes SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the Wuhan Lab in China.
