Walensky and the CDC had no authority to declare a rent moratorium.

Historical context is worth mentioning.

Back when the Subcommittee was Democrat dominated and steered, Walensky had nothing to worry about. All the Committee's press releases were accusations against Trump and his handling of the pandemic.

That changed 180 degrees in January of this year, when the GOP took over the Subcommittee.

What I find interesting is that Walensky suddenly announced her resignation a week after Weingarten denied in a Subcommittee hearing that her union had advised the CDC on pandemic policy... at least not any more than other agencies that were consulted.

If it were true, the CDC head could have stood shoulder to shoulder with the ATW head and helped her prove how wrong those allegations were.

But this was on the heels of a March hearing, where the Subcommittee got testimony from epidemiologist Tracy Hoeg: Science had already concluded the CDC-recommended masks were "largely ineffective" and the CDC-recommended 6-foot distancing was "arbitrary".

Again, if the CDC had better Science to present, Walensky could have shrugged and issued a rebuttal.

And then something else happened on May 4.

The State Congress of FL announced a second term for their five-star Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo, who was in the process of trying to corner Walensky et al. on the CDC's role in covering up the Vax Injury scandal. Ladapo's reconfirmation was a clear green light for him to finish the job.

Apparently she had no stomach for defending THREE huge screw-ups at the same time. On May 5, she surprised the public by announcing her resignation.

This is starting to be fun.

Yes dearies... you can run, but you can't hide.
