Former CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky Was Requested to Testify and Preserve Communications
The Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic called on Dr. Rochelle Walensky to testify
As originally published on DailyClout
Representative Brad Wenstrup, D.P.M., Chairman of the Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has requested that Dr. Rochelle Walensky, former director of the CDC, appear before the committee on June 14 for a hearing.
Rep. Wenstrup sent Dr. Walensky a letter requesting her appearance before the committee, which is investigating whether the CDC was influenced by “non-governmental groups”, specifically in regard to the CDC’s Feb 2021 “Operational Strategy for K-12 schools Through Phased Prevention”.
Dr. Walensky has failed to respond to a letter that was sent two months ago inquiring whether the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) worked to keep schools closed.
Mrs. Randi Weingarten, President of the AFT, was specifically mentioned in Rep. Wenstrup’s letter as someone who may have unduly influenced the decisions of the CDC regarding school closures. Dr. Walensky was informed in the letter that she is to preserve all communications beginning from January 2021 between her and Mrs. Weingarten, as well as any communications regarding school closures, “Operational Strategy” and the AFT. Rep. Wenstrup included a transcript from testimony by Mrs. Weingarten that she does indeed have Dr. Walensky’s number saved in her contacts.
As reported by Ms. Jennifer Sey, Mrs. Weingarten’s impact on negative policies that affected the children is clear. How much weight did the AFT have on the decisions of Dr. Rochelle Walensky and the CDC?

A quick search for the specific Operational Strategy to which Rep. Wenstrup is referring in his letter shows that the CDC has wiped the page from its website. This is what you see if you go to the link at which it formerly lived:

Luckily for us, we have the trusty Wayback Machine which shows us exactly which “operational strategy” Rep. Wenstrup is referring to in his request:
The CDC, under the guidance of Dr. Rochelle Walensky, has put a generation of children through hell. The damages caused by the militant “operational strategy” will be unraveled for years to come. Although Dr. Walensky has announced her departure from the CDC, as the Select Subcommittee posted on Twitter, “Impending departure from federal service does not protect you from accountability”.
Rep. Wenstrup ended his letter by stating that the Select Subcommittee is “authorized to investigate ‘the societal impact of decisions to close schools, how the decisions were made, and whether there is evidence of widespread learning loss or other negative effects as a result of these decisions’ and ‘executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal and external communications related to the coronavirus pandemic’ under H. Res. 5.”

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.
